I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and teach a range of units over the three years undergraduate degree in film and Media. In the past twelve years I have been programme leader and year tutor for all three years. I align practice and theory on my units as this is a method that inspires my students. My units draw upon my research and they are "Youth Cultures and Subcultures", "Fantasy" and "Science Fiction". I also teach research methods, especially empirical research and qualitative methods to undergraduates. I have also worked with postgraduate students supervising their research and teaching comics on the MA
Researching women in comics and subcultural identities. Research into subcultures develops my PhD, 'Expressions of Nation and Place in British Surfing Identities' which focused on analysing representations of surfing and national identity through film and popular culture. I have extensive publications in surfing, surfing cultures and their representations, gender in comics, time and spatiality in the media and transmedia universes.
Currently writing a book on Wonder Woman which examines cultural, political and social influences upon the representation of the human body from the 1940s . I edited a book with Dr Matthew Jones of de Montfort on time travel in the media and I edit Routledge's Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics www.tandf.co.uk/journals/rcom with David Huxley . We have organised ten international comics conferences at Manchester Metropolitan University with colleagues in Intellect's Studies in Comics and the European Journal of Comic Art.
I am interested in supporting anyone researching in any of the areas mentioned above.
