Faculty Member, Dance
Senior Lecturer in Dance
About
My research is broadly concerned with the historical and cultural construction of dancing bodies during modernity and postmodernity. I have a particular interest in popular dance practices (on the street, stage or screen), whose low-art status and supposed triviality often disguise the workings of highly complex historical and cultural processes. My work focuses on the vehicles that carry popular dance practices through history and across geographical space, such as memory and the visual technologies of photography, film and digital media.
I am a graduate of Cambridge University, and completed my PhD in Dance Studies in 2008.
I have presented my research at conferences in the UK, Paris and Seoul, and have published in the journal Research in Dance Education.
