I am a Senior Lecturer in Critical and Historical Studies. My research focuses on the moving image and visual culture, especially the history and contemporary practice of embodied filmmaking and material culture; European women artists and filmmakers and the politics of the body. I teach on the MA in Film and Philosophy.
Recent and on-going collaborations/Impact initiatives include work with The Wallace Collection, Birds Eye View, Freud Museum, the Serpentine Gallery and the British Film Institute.
I am currently writing three books; my BFI Film Classics book on Victor Erice's The Spirit of the Beehive (2022), one on the British Art Cinema of Joanna Hogg for the 'Visionaries' Female Filmmakers EUP series and another on the literature of Deborah Levy and her philosophical writings which I align with cinematic thought. I am also developing a research network on Venice and Film which will lead to a conference and edited volume of essays.
I am currently supervising a PhD on the work of Harun Farocki and the representation of the mother with the philosophy of Luce Irigaray and French Feminist Philosophy.
