Film studies courses
Focus your studies on film and the world of cinema, or combine these with another interest by choosing a joint honours degree.
I am a feminist film and media studies scholar with particular interests in women filmmakers, equality and diversity in the film and television industries, celebrity culture, adaptation, and reception discourses.
I'm interested in British and European films which travel across borders: what themes, stories, and stars these films focus on, who watches them and why, and how they're produced, funded and distributed.
I am primarily a theorist and historian of film music and film sound, but with a strong interdisciplinary interest in aesthetics and theory, as well as culture beyond film.
