Professor of Photography/Curating, Research Student Manager
I am an academic scholar, art critic, curator, and educator seeking to situate photographic practice within broader art historical, museological, and visual culture debates, combining theory and practice, whereby practice takes the form of curation.
My teaching, research, and curatorial practice have been informed by multidisciplinary studies in the related fields of Photography, Media and Communication Studies (Goldsmiths College), and Art History (Courtauld Institute of Art) and subsequent research and curatorial activity in the areas of Digital Media, Museum and Curating Practice.
Teaching and supervision
As an art historian specialising in lens-based media and curating, I have taught modules in art history, photography, and visual culture studies in different academic institutions in the UK and abroad, including the University of Sunderland, the Courtauld Institute of Art, Newcastle University and the European School of Photography in Athens, Greece.
In my current position as Professor of Photography/Curating in the Faculty of Arts and Creative Industries, I design, deliver, co-teach, and assess core theory and theory/practice modules across BA (Hons) Photography, Video and Digital Imaging and MA Visual Practice.
I also supervise PhD courses by practice-led research and by existing publication or creative works.

Research
In the past decade, my research has focused on three cross-disciplinary subject areas: the cultural role of the ‘networked image’ as communication and art; the interface of photography and the museum; and the history of modern Greek photography. As writer and curator, I have collaborated with major museums, art galleries, and institutions, in Greece, Italy, France, the Netherlands, and Malaysia.
My research focus:
i) Digital media and the networked image: My research in this area has focused on photo-sharing and memes, social media activism, and digital archives and has been presented at major international conferences in Europe and the UK. In 2011 I instigated and co-organised the international transdisciplinary conference The Versatile Image: Photography in the Era of Web 2.0 (University of Sunderland)and subsequently co-edited the anthology The Versatile Image: Photography, Digital Technologies and the Internet (Leuven University Press, 2013). More recently, I have collaborated with scholars of postcolonial studies to explore the impact of digital technologies on the ownership and dissemination of colonial archives. This research has been disseminated internationally through collaborative conference papers and formed the basis of an academic session for the ASEASUK conference at SOAS (Sept. 2016), the papers of which are due to be published.
ii) The accommodation of photographic arts and amateur practices in the museum: Based on archival research in institutions across Europe and the US, funded by the British Academy, the University of London and Princeton University, my work on the accommodation of photographic arts in the museum charts a still under-researched territory. Parts of this research have been presented internationally in academic conferences, research seminars, multidisciplinary anthologies and journals, in English, Greek, German, and Chinese, and two academic sessions in the Association of Art Historians conferences that I co-convened (2008, 2012). This research developed into the monograph A Gust of Photo-Philia: Photography in the Art Museum, published by Leuven University Press in 2020.
iii) History of 20th century Hellenic photography: I am the co-author of the illustrated history of Greek photography, Greece Through Photographs (Greek 2007/English 2009). This 350-page volume combines the photographic visualisation of modern Greek history with the historisation of Greek photography and is now referenced in photographic syllabi in HE institutions in Greece. In 2008 I was awarded a Stanley J. Seeger Research Fellowship in Hellenic Studies at Princeton University, followed by a Stanley J. Seeger/Princeton University Library grant to complete research on the papers of Alison Frantz. I have also collaborated with the Benaki Museum and the Museum of Photography in Thessaloniki on major exhibitions of photographic representations of postwar Greece. Recent publications of this research include contributions to an anthology of key texts on Greek photography published by the Museum of Photography Thessaloniki, 2014), the publication of the Greek Pavilion for the Venice Biennale of Architecture 2014, and the anthology Camera Graeca: Photographs, Narratives, Materialities, ed. P. Carabott and E. Papargyriou (Ashgate, 2015). I contribute to the publications of the Association Internationale des Critiques d’ Art (Athens) and have served as a member of the advisory boards of a: contemporary art review (Athens Biennial) and the Journal of Greek Media and Culture.
Recent curatorial projects include the exhibition of contemporary photographic art Realities and Plausibilities (Xippas Gallery, Athens 2009) and the survey exhibition Portrayals of History, Voula Papaioannou – Dimitris Harissiadis 1940-1960 at the Museum of Photography Thessaloniki (2017).
The above-mentioned research has also been presented in invited public talks (Princeton University Library, Photographers’ Gallery, Royal Photographic Society) and articles and interviews in newspapers (Kathimerini, Eleftherotypia, Athens). I often contribute reviews of exhibitions and publications in art journals and photography magazines, namely the Caa review, The Burlington Magazine and Source.
