About
Prior to working at Sheffield Hallam University, I worked at De Montfort University, UWE Bristol, and the University of Derby. My broad research expertise is in film and media history and archive studies, with five core strands of focus: Kubrick studies; archives and archival methods; film and media industries and workers; film festival studies; and unmade/unproduction studies.
I’m the author of Stanley Kubrick Produces (Rutgers University Press, 2020), editor of Understanding Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey (Intellect, 2018), and co-editor of special issues about Stanley Kubrick, the Stanley Kubrick Archive, and A Clockwork Orange for Cinergie and the Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television. My research in Kubrick studies has also involved the use of archival methods to reframe the textual understanding of films like Lolita and A Clockwork Orange and to deconstruct the myths surrounding Stanley Kubrick. I consider the material and social realities of film production and the ways in which Kubrick’s films textually embody the exploitative and abusive cultures of production in Hollywood in journal articles such as ‘The Problems with Kubrick’ (New Review of Film and Television Studies) and ‘The Exploitation of Sue Lyon’ (Feminist Media Studies) and several recent conference papers, including ‘Kubrick, Women’s Bodies, and Casting in A Clockwork Orange’ (BAFTSS 2021). In 2019, I was the co-investigator for the five-day Lorentz Center funded workshop ‘Stanley Kubrick, Life and Legacy’ at the University of Leiden. In 2022, I was invited to deliver the third annual Stanley Kubrick Lecture by the University of the Arts London.
My work in archive studies and archival methods includes the book Archive Histories: An Archaeology of the Stanley Kubrick Archive (Liverpool University Press, 2024), which is a history of the Stanley Kubrick Archive, focusing on its material realities and cultural value. I’m the co-founder of the BAFTSS Archives and Archival Methods Special Interest Group and convenor of the Archives Research Community. I’ve co-convened numerous archive-based conferences, including Disrupting Dominance in the Archives (December 2022) in collaboration with UAL’s Archives and Special Collections Centre, and Heritage, Community, Archives: Methods, Case Studies, Collaboration at SHU in June 2023.
My work in film festival studies includes an early history of Sheffield DocFest that was published in the Historical Journal of Film, Radio and Television and a collaboration with Sheffield DocFest to stage an archive-based exhibition to celebrate the festival’s 30th anniversary in 2023. I currently supervise a collaborative PhD with DocFest, which is critical history of the festival. In 2022, I was awarded funding by the Screen Industries Growth Network (SIGN) for a project that investigated the experiences and working conditions of film festival programmers, producing a series of videos and a book.
I’ve led on establishing a sub-field of inquiry within media history along with my colleague Dr Kieran Foster (University of Nottingham): unmade/unproduction studies. The field investigates the history and theory of unmade film and television. I’ve co-edited the collections Shadow Cinema: The Historical and Industrial Contexts of Unmade Film (Bloomsbury, 2020) and Studying Unmade, Unseen, and Unreleased Film and Television: Histories, Theories, Methods (Intellect, 2024) and a special issue of the Journal of Culture and War on unmade Holocaust films. I’ve also authored the book Unproduction Studies and the American Film Industry (Routledge, 2020) and published numerous journal articles on the topic, including an article on John Boorman’s unmade Lord of the Rings film. I’m the founder of the book series Unmade Film and Television (Intellect) and in 2022 co-convened the conference Shadow Screens: Unmade, Unseen, and Unreleased Film and Television.
