Excited to finally be able to share my book with the world!

Gothic Celebrity: Fame and Immortality from Lord Byron to Lady Gaga 💀⭐️

The book explores the relationship between celebrity culture and the Gothic in literature, media and popular culture.

Some pictures from a fantastic evening at Elemental Cinema - an exhibition of experimental film featuring work by three talented @angliaruskin.bsky.social colleagues

Some of my favourite shots from my visit to the #LeighBowery exhibition at #TateModern last week. An audacious and inspiring collection - Bowery really was one of a kind!

Watched #28YearsLater this weekend. Some great tense moments, good jokes, beautiful scenery, Ralph Feinnes being brilliant...but also felt kind of jumbled to me? I've not worked it out myself just yet, but I'm really enjoying reading people's thoughts on it (maybe more than actually watching it?!)

Had a wonderful time attending the Doing Women's Film and Television History conference for the first time last week, and presenting my paper on #MeganFox. Such a welcoming space and many fascinating discussions were had! #filmstudies #starstudies #celebritystudies #academia

Some pictures from the opening night of @angliaruskin.bsky.social annual Graduate Showcase. It's always a pleasure to see our students' incredible creative work!

I recently finished Netflix's #CobraKai and... I am so goddamn impressed. I can't even express all the positive things I have to say about this. A great example of 'kind TV', with some incredibly thoughtful explorations of masculinity, male friendships and male role models. Would HIGHLY recommend!

Had the pleasure of listening to this excellent talk today by guest speaker Dr Jessica Ford! Kevin Can F**k Himself is such an important and innovative TV show in its depiction of domestic abuse - would highly recommend.
