My research addresses audio-visual media theory and creative practice from a highly interdisciplinary perspective. I am the author of two monographs with Bloomsbury Academic and I am also organising two edited collections, including a selection of original screenplays by Lindsay Anderson and David Sherwin. My current research addresses the political representation of work, creativity, and labour practices in a multimedia context, as well as the relevance of Romantic aesthetics in modern culture. I also compose piano and chamber music in Romantic and post-minimalist styles.

I have taught and developed BA and MA programmes in Film Studies, Cultural Management, Digital Media, Television and Animation Production. Before coming to Arts University Bournemouth, I was Teaching Fellow at the University of Southampton, where I received a competitive Vice Chancellor’s Scholarship for my research on film music and Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).

In 2018, I was on the founding editorial committee for the interdisciplinary journal Romance, Revolution and Reform, where I currently serve as Academic Editor. I regularly present research at academic events and have organised several conferences at the University of Southampton and Cambridge University. In 2023, I reviewed arts and visual culture funding applications for the South, West and Wales Doctoral Training Partnership (SWW DTP).
