Senior Lecturer in French Studies, Co-Director of Birkbeck Research in Aesthetics of Kinship and Community (BRAKC)

About

My teaching and research interests lie in film, fiction, theatre and critical theory, especially in French. I am particularly interested in the psycho-social implications of fantastical representation, the problem of psychic blankness, and the experimental exploration of familial and political forms of relationality.

I am co-director of Birkbeck Research in Aesthetics of Kinship and Community (BRAKC). BRAKC is an inter-disciplinary research centre dedicated to exploring visions old and new (and across the arts and humanities) of the affects and discourses that create and construct "families", "tribes", and collectives as yet unnamed.

I am currently working on a book for Liverpool University Press about the French author Marie NDiaye.
