I am Senior Lecturer in the School of Arts and Creative Industries. I have taught across the media studies curriculum at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, with specialisms in visual culture, media research methods, and mediated representations of gender and ethnicity. I completed her doctorate in 1994 at London South Bank University, examining the BBC's coverage of the decline of the British Empire and the birth of the New Commonwealth, 1936- 1960. My research interests have included representations of ethnicity in British television, and historical media research using documents and archives.
