Research activity per year
I completed my PhD at Warwick University before spending a year as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Westminster. I joined the University of Birmingham in 2007 and was Head of American and Canadian Studies before becoming Founding Head of Film and Creative Writing in 2014.
My work is divided between film and television studies. I have written two monographs on aspects of screen fantasy, Alternative Worlds in Hollywood Cinema and Fantasy Film, a BFI TV Classic on the series The Thick of It, and a recent monograph, Television and Repetition. I have co-edited the international collection Film Moments with Tom Brown and Television Performance with Lucy Fife Donaldson. My most recent book is Television and Repetition and I am currently completing the monograph Visions in the Frame: Mise en scene Between Film and TV.
