The eighth edition of Representology: The Journal of Media & Diversity @representology.bsky.social is out now and contains my piece with Dr Christa van Raalte on mythbusting higher education's relationship with screen industries. Download for free - see below.

I'm looking forward to presenting my paper 'Working with industry to develop new practices to support sustainable freelance careers in TV' at the @britsoci.bsky.social BSA Work, Employment and Society Conference 2025, next week.

Today sees the publication of the full report of @britishacademy.bsky.social Supportive Offboarding project, a research-led intervention to improve how the television industry supports its freelancers as their contracts come to an end. Available here: doi.org/10.18746/shk....

Two years ago, I undertook a study of ways we could better support TV freelancers. This illustration sums-up that proposal. I have since been working on a pilot to develop these ideas into practice. FULL REPORT COMING SOON.
