ACADEMIC WORK
ABOUT:
I hold a PhD in Visual Cultures from Goldsmiths, University of London. My research project was funded by Consortium for the Humanities and Arts South-East of England (CHASE). It looks at the ‘nocturnality’ as a new environmental ideal, examining the emerging ‘Dark Sky Movement’ within the context of the broader politics of illumination.
I have taught courses in Science & Technology Studies and the Environmental Humanities at the University of Sydney, UNSW, and King’s College London.
CHAPTERS IN EDITED COLLECTIONS:
‘A Night Outside of Time’: Dark Sky Parks, Lockdowns, and Imaginaries of Suspension’, in Dark Eden: Transdisciplinary Imaging at the Intersections of Art, Science, Culture. (eds. Edward Colless, David Eastwood, Chelsea Lehmann and Paul Thomas), Art + Australia, 2022
‘Learning to see war: non-compliant images and disobedient birds in Day of the Sparrow’ in The Work of Philip Scheffner and Merle Kröger (ed. Nicole Wolf), German Documentary Initiative, 2021
