RESEARCH INTERESTs

My research interests are interdisciplinary and broad ranging and often centres on gender and representation.

I have five key areas of interest:

  • Magazine Studies (with a particular interest in Australian editors and how gender is constructed and reflected in magazines and in television)
  • Walking and driving narratives (street narratives, flânerie, cultural tourism, psychogeography, cityscapes and soundscapes)
  • Australian film, literature, music and popular culture (Ozploitation films of the 70s and 80s, the work of Nick Cave)
  • Writing and rhetoric (creative non-fiction, memoir, autofiction, ficto-criticism, academic writing and research, Wikipedia, editing and editorial studies)
  • Scholarship of teaching and learning (student engagement and retention, student leadership, assessment and feedback, academic integrity, curriculum transformation, digital writing and research)
