Senior Lecturer, Gender and Media, University of Sussex
I've been teaching at the University of Sussex since 2007. Prior to that, I was a lecturer at the University of Sunderland.
I convene MA Gender and Media.
My research focuses on the representation of minority groups in film and media - especially how these identifications intersect with gender and sexuality politics. I have written about the representation of lesbians and gays, disability, transgender identifications and ageing.
