Courses taught
My research interests begin from reading and exploring Post Structural theory, philosophy, and psychoanalysis. I aim to creatively link theory and practice. My writing and creative practice relates to the history of art and photography, the enigma of the image, and the relationship between photography, painting and drawing, and written and visual experimentation.
I have written on women artists and photographers, am interested in how the personal becomes political, and support the thinking around how best to reinstate the gaps in history of women artists, photographers, philosophers and creative thinkers. I have an interest in photographic archives, in what remains hidden.
I have organised a series of international events and seminars at Tate Modern and Photographers' Gallery, related to art, theory, photography and new ideas.
I have a chapter in The Photography Reader (Blackwell) edited by Steven Bull, to be published in November 2019.
