My current research focus is on the role of education in supporting access to life opportunities. Topics that I have published or presented on include widening participation policy, enabling pedagogies, student engagement through media, universal design learning and critical pedagogy.

I am also very interested in the technical and theoretical aspects of film studies. I am highly proficient with Final Cut Pro, Premiere and other relevant software. I am excited by new technological developments and their impact on contemporary communication practice and identity development.

I have published and presented on the role of women on television in late modernity, particularly in contemporary animation and fantasy texts. I am also interested in depictions of adolescence, the consumption of 'alternative' youth culture, music and identity. I approach these areas from a feminist film theory and cultural studies perspective.
