老师简介
Deputy Head of School; Associate Professor
BA, MA, PhD
I teach both theory and practice in journalism and media. One of the strands of my research deals with the intersection between journalism, development and poverty/social exclusion. The other explores the use of statistics by journalists and the news media.
Bore becoming an academic I worked as a political correspondent and news editor for news media outlets in Latin America and the USA. As a journalist, I covered elections and conflicts in the region as well as working in the finance and business news beat.
I have worked in several universities in the UK and I have been a visiting research Fellow at the Univerd Católica Andres Bello (Venezuela) and at the National University of Singapore. I have also been a visiting lecturer in the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University (New York, USA) and I am currently a visiting professor of the Doctoral Programme in Media & Communication at the Univerd de Málaga (Spain).
I currently perform other roles, including deputy editor of the Journal of Applied Journalism & Media Studiesand of the Journal of Latin American Communication Research. I am also a member of the editorial boards of Temas de Comunicación, Public Relations Inquiry, Revista Latina de Comunicación Social and the Online Journal of Communication and Media Technologies. I am also still active in journalism and write columns and act as a commentator for several publications and radio programmes in Latin America.
Lecturer in Media and Communication
BA (Hons) Modern History - University of Oxford, MA Modern History - University of Leeds, PhD Communications - University of Leeds
Having completed both my BA and MA in Modern History bore joining the School of Media and Communication, I came to this discipline from a very different background to many of the other research staff in the department.
For my PhD, I combined my passion for History with my love for animation, researching the ideology of the animated shorts of the Disney and Schlesinger Studios in the 1930s and 1940s. I used a combination of archival research and content analysis to uncover the ways in which the cartoon shorts provided a commentary on the Great Depression, including social conditions, political debates and the international situation.
I am near completion of my first monograph, entitled ‘Historical ‘Tooning: Disney, Warner Brothers, the Depression and War.’ I am currently working on papers developing this research, including the role of animation during the Cold War and during Roosevelt’s 1932 election campaign.
My research interests have also broadened into the fantastical world of fairy tales. I have published and presented widely on the Disney fairy tale and its intrinsic connection to the American Dream. Currently, I am researching the central importance of music to the recent re-imagining of the Disney fairy tale in the films ‘Tangled’ (2010) and ‘Frozen’ (2013).
