Practice Areas
My current research explores the industrial and cultural dynamics that emerge out of the institutional partnerships that since the 1990's bring together museums and film studios to produce collaborative blockbuster exhibition projects. I have also worked on projects exploring the relationship between creative labour and feminism, as well as documentary filmmaking and pedagogies of media.
