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.
