I am a scholar of British film and television culture, with a specific interest in regional representation, contemporary screen production, popular genre, and creative figures who have been critically overlooked. I have authored monographs on contemporary British cinema, the work of the Amber film collective, and the representation of North East England on film and televsion. I have co-edited collections on traditions of UK science fiction film and television, period drama, medical representation, and the comedy of Chris Morris.
I am currently completing a book on the writer Alan Plater.
