About
I'm a research fellow in the Centre for Music, Gender and Identity (MuGI) at the University of Huddersfield. My current projects are focused around the role of music and sound in Hollywood crime films, investigating upon how the soundtrack engages with the construction of agency for female characters in films released by RKO Radio Pictures during the 1940s. I'm also in the initial stages of research into musical constructions of girlhood and national identity in British girls' school stories.
I previously worked as an associate lecturer at the Universities of Leeds, Liverpool and Sheffield, delivering courses on film music and music in audiovisual media and contributing to a range of modules in areas related to critical musicology and research/study skills.
My research and teaching both reflect the interdisciplinary nature of my research interests, which focus around the following areas:
• Music and sound in audiovisual media
• Music, identity, and representation (particularly issues of gender and sexuality)
• Intersections between music, film and literature
• Aesthetics and critical approaches to musicology
• Star systems and fan cultures (both music and film)
• Popular music cultures (particularly Motown, Northern soul, and disco)
