Research and teaching interests

My research and teaching interests are broadly based in the study of visual culture, media, and documentary. My work takes a number of paths ranging from the study of visual technologies and their impact on cultural life, the study of audio and visual documentary, the history, and culture of amateur filim, and the history and culture of tourism.
