My research is interested n the way that sexuality and gender are presented in popular video games, and how fans can then subvert cultural norms through identification with the characters they play and outside of the game world into online spaces. 

I am running seminars on:

MCS.101: Transformations: From Mass Media to Social Media (Michaelmas 2020)

SOCL209: Consumer Culture and Advertising (Michaelmas 2020)
