I currently teach across film, media and English Llterature.
My current and ongoing research concentrates on the work of both Stanley Kubrick and Ken Russell. I have books and journals on Russell, Kubrick and Anthony Burgess in production for EUP and Palgrave
I recently co-edited The Jaws Book: New Persepectives on the classic Summer Blockbuster for Bloomsbury and am working on a publication for the 30th anniversary of Jurassic Park.
