Teaching and supervision

I teach across a range of different modules and I am module leader for:

Formats and Storytelling
Introduction to Screenwriting (short-form television)
Scriptwriting (short film)
Screenwriting for TV and Film (adaptation)

I also teach/have taught on MA Media Production (Film and Television), Television Studio, and Science Fiction and Fantasy Television. I currently supervise students on both the undergraduate and MA practical dissertation.

Research

My research is focused around scriptwriting and screenwriting. I am interested in representation and cultural identity, and these tend to form the main themes of my work. I explore the notion that issue-based stories can be received effectively through comedy or comedy drama.

I am part of a writer-led theatre company, which produces contemporary theatre performed in non-traditional settings.
