Life Writing 2.0: Joanna Walsh, Technology, and the Politics of Sharing.

Joanna Walsh is an author and activist whose texts typify the contemporary synergy between life writing and technology. Here, I present an interview with Walsh, keynote speaker at the Life's Not Personal Conference. I precede our conversation with an extended introduction exploring the breadth of her works, attending to the themes of life writing, technology, and the slippery boundaries of sharing in a digital age. In my reading, Walsh's use of technology allows her to experiment with form to circumnavigate the limiting scripts that allow the popularised misogynistic descriptor 'oversharing' to operate, while creating new writing and reading communities.
