Research

I work in videographic criticism, meaning that I make digital videos about film and screen media. I am currently working on a 'videographic book' on the tradition and possibilities of videographic criticism. I have published video essays in leading journals including [in]Transition: Journal of Videographic Film & Moving Studies, where I am co-editor (from Autumn 2024).

Teaching activities

I teach film and media history and short film production at BA and MA levels. I supervise MA theses on a range of topics, and have a special interest in working with students who wish to make a creative product as part of their research. I have supervised PHD students working on topics like film festivals, collaborative songwriting, and popular celebrity, and am espcially interested in working with practice researchers.
