Accepting PhD Students
PhD projects
I am currently at capacity for supervising new postgraduate research students, but as the PGR admissions tutor for the department of Film and Creative Writing I am happy for candidates to contact me with general enquiries about postgraduate study in the department.<br/><br/>I am interested in supervising projects on the intersections between the horror genre and children's media and/or animation. I will also consider projects in the broad areas of children's media, horror, genre studies, animation, and representation in any of the above, but due to limitations on my supervision capacity I am unable to respond to all speculative enquiries. I am currently supervising or have recently supervised postgraduate research projects on topics including: motherhood in 21st century horror films; non-binary representation on television; asexual representation on British television; the child in contemporary Spanish horror cinema; fatherhood in horror cinema; child horror filmmakers; animal migrants in film, television and literature. I am available as an internal and external examiner. Please note that I am not a creative practitioner, and I will only consider supervising practice-as-research projects provided the candidate is able to secure appropriate co-supervision.
