Welcome to my website. I am Principal Lecturer in Film and TV at Bournemouth University and hold a doctorate in Media and Communications from Goldsmiths, University of London. My research aims for a pragmatic understanding of media spectatorship with regards to social cognition, stereotypes, experience, empathy and narrative comprehension. My work advocates for the media creator’s understanding of how audio-visual and narrative representation can change social attitudes towards stigmatised groups, in particular disabled people.
