Associate Professor in Cultural Industries and Media, University of Nottingham

I have a BA in English Literature from the University of Sussex, and an MA and PhD from the University of Nottingham. Before joining the Department in 2017 I taught at the Department of Media, Communication and Sociology at the University of Leicester.

My research and teaching interests are in the cultural and creative industries with a focus on policy and cultural labour. I'm interested in how the development of the creative industries as a policy formation and sector of the economy impacts and shapes cultural practice and the working lives of creative practitioners, particularly around questions of inequality and diversity. My work is collaborative and interdisciplinary, drawing upon social science and humanities research traditions, and I have worked extensively with local and national organisations in the cultural sector.
