Biography
I am a transdisciplinary researcher, straddling the arts, humanities and sciences. I qualified and practised as a lawyer for over 10 years before returning to academe as a Lecturer in Legal Practice. Between 2013 and 2021, I was also assistant/managing editor of the peer-reviewed journal Media, War & Conflict.
I am particularly interested in issues related to 'grasping' state-corporate-military power; datafication and financialisation; the (post)photographic visualisation of the socially abstract, and the visualisation of radically remote science (such as particle physics). I am currently conducting research into the transmedial and performative articulation of abstract theoretical/scientific concepts, using Dark Matter and the material conditions of its detection in underground research facilities as a pilot project.
I work in transmedial and cross-genre ways, through imagery, film, creative and critical theory, and seek through such hybridity to develop a mode of creative knowledge production that eschews traditional, epistemic protectionism, fosters porosity between like and unlike disciplines, and adopts a collaborative stance towards intellectual discovery and meaning-making...
My praxis is creative, theoretical and legal, and I welcome collaboration with, or the PhD supervision, of similarly transdisciplinary, transmedial and cross-genre practitioners and scholars.
