About

I primarily teach on the film and television studies at the University of Derby. I have taught and led programmes at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.

My research interests include issues of representation and identity, the concept of memory, science fiction, curation, visibility and feminism. I have established the Spaces/Places research group to explore curation and exhibition of a range of practices, including film, photography and art, and have established the Marion Adnams Project.
