My research primarely focuses on three areas: terrorism studies, mediated memory and nostalgia, and the relationship between fashion and media industries. My main research interests include the mediation of terrorism and political violence, specifically the representation of terrorism in film and television, as well as cultural memory and nostalgia studies. Most of this research has been disseminated in edited collections and international peer-reviewed journals where I analysed the gendered representations of victims and perpetrators of terrorism, how fictional media texts deal with traumatic past events, and the legacy of 1970s revolutionary terrorism.  I have a particular interest in technostalgia (nostagia for old media), period and costume dramas and gendered discourses in these genres. I also work on costume and fashion on screen, with a partiuclar emphasis on documentary, reality TV and biographical narratives.

I have published on European cinema, in particular Italian and German, vintage culture, social media (Instagram, Tinder) and fashion films.

My first co-edited book Mediated Terrorism (Palgrave-MacMillan 2021) uses a range of cities and conflicts from Europe, North America, Asia, Africa and the Middle East to offer a comparative survey of the complex and controversial encounters between the spectacle of terrorist violence, traumatic memory and commemoration, as well as an insight into the political and ethical issues of representation and the balancing of forgetting and remembering.

My second volume, co-edited with Boel Ulfsdotter, Documenting Fashion (Edinburgh University Press 2023), excavates and reassesses the role of documentary media in shaping our understanding of fashion across multiple platforms and different national contexts. It considers non-fiction fashion material in archives, television and film, exhibitions and online. I am consolidating this work, developing new research on eco-documentaries about fashion, ageing narratives, and fashion biopics.
