Personal Statement
I specialise in the critical analyses of gender, race and technology in media, popular culture and everyday life. Looking at various international contexts, my interdisciplinary publications, research and PhD supervision areas span across a broad range of topics in Digital/Media and Cultural Studies. My latest book, "The Gendered Motorcycle: Representations in Society, Media and Popular Culture" (2018) examines technology in film, advertising, television and anime/manga within the context of the US, the UK and Japan. Currently, I am working on gender, Japanese identity and social media.
My current collaborative research involves the investigation of digital technologies, apps/social media/platforms and the politics of digital refusal, with recent funded projects (including a British Academy/Leverhulme grant) and publications in Digital Studies. Currently, I am writing a co-authored book on digital disengagement (with Dr. Adi Kuntaman) for the Critical Digital and Social Media Studies series, University of Westminster Press (2021).
I have also written for international media outlets such as The New York Times and Newsweek Japan, and appeared on BBC Radio 4's 'Thinking Allowed'.
