Biography

My research looks at changes and challenges in the contemporary creative and cultural industries, with a focus on digital transformation, policy and gender. I am especially interested in critically examining issues relating to gender, diversity, equality and cultural policy for the media, arts and cultural industries.

My work has been published in the European Journal of Cultural Studies, Media, Culture and Society, New Media and Society, Television and New Media, The Bloomsbury Handbook of Popular Music Policy (2021), Toward Gender Equality in the Music Industry (2019) and The Routledge Handbook of Global Cultural Policy (2018).

I am also the Education Director for the School of Media, Film and Journalism.
