My interest in sexuality and culture is primarily in the area of film and visual media. I have supervised a number of MA and PhD students working in these areas on interdisciplinary projects including: heterosexual romantic love; national and transnational sexual cultures; lesbian and queer film; queer urban spaces; lesbian icons; the racialisation of lesbian social spaces; sexualised bodies, violence and testimony; queer bodies and national trauma.
As well as being a co-editor of two journals: Screen and Feminist Theory, my publications include: Star Gazing: Female Spectators and Hollywood Cinema(1994) and Teratologies: A Cultural Study of Cancer (1997) and (as co-author with Sarah Franklin and Celia Lury) Global Nature, Global Culture (2000). I have also co-edited a number of books, including Romance Revisited with Lynne Pearce (1995), Screen Histories: A Screen Reader with Annette Kuhn (1998), Thinking Through the Skin with Sara Ahmed (2001) and Queer Screens with Sarah Street (2007). I am currently completing a new book for Duke University Press entitled The Cinematic Life of the Gene.
I joined the University of Manchester in 2007 to take up a Chair in Cultural Studies in the Research Institute for Cosmopolitan Cultures (RICC) and I am based in English and American Studies.
