My PhD in French (Film) Studies research entails looking at "anachronistic heroes" in French Comedy cinema, from the 1950s to the present day.
Biography
After attending Grammar School in my home town of Louth, Lincolnshire, I moved to Birmingham in 2013 to undertake my Undergraduate degree at the University of Birmingham (BA Modern Languages (French and Spanish) with Film Studies). After graduating in 2017, I proceeded to undertake an MA by Research in French Studies degree at the University, under the principal supervision of Prof. Kate Ince, and co-supervision of Dr. Andrew Watts. After graduating in 2019, I took some time away from academia to build up my work experience, and I have returned to the University as of Sept. 2021 to undertake a Part-Time PhD in French Studies (with the same supervisory team) and, eventually, to pursue an academic career. Aside from my academic interests in film, I am a general film enthusiast, and an occasional film journalist.
