I am Assistant Professor of Film, Media, and Culture in the University of Amsterdam Department of Media Studies and the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis. My research has tended to consider questions of social signification, knowledge, and desire in visual cultures. Much of my work has theorised relations between bisexuality and the cinema, specifically as these pertain to epistemology, hermeneutics, historiography, and form. Other areas of interest include pornography, Jewishness and film, mediations of bodily interiority, critical animal studies, and early cinemas.

My first monograph, Cinemas of Bisexual Transgression, which proposes the theoretical utility of cinematic figures of bisexual transgression for queer film studies, is forthcoming with Duke University Press. I have published work in the Journal of Bisexuality and Porn Studies, in which I edited a special issue on bisexuality and pornography. I have also contributed chapters in the following edited collections: Call Me By Your Name: Perspectives on the Film (Intellect 2024), A Companion to Ingmar Bergman (Wiley Blackwell 2025), Transnational Horror: Folklore, Genre, and Cultural Politics (Liverpool University Press 2025), and Screening Adult Cinema (Routledge 2025).

Before coming to the University of Amsterdam, I taught at King’s College London, where I also completed a PhD in Film Studies. I hold an MA in Sexual Dissidence and a BA in English Literature and Film from the University of Sussex.
