Teaching

I have recently designed or substantially redesigned three modules: Media, Technology and Society (Level 5), which takes a detailed yet expansive look at what media are and why we worry about them; Media and Everyday Life (Level 6), which emphasizes those sociological and ethnographic approaches that investigate our encounter, use and experience of media through everyday routine; and The Mediated City (Level 6), which encourages students to examine some comparatively unconventional forms and sites of ‘media’ as they appear across urban spaces and city life.

In collaboration with my departmental colleagues at Birkbeck, I am contributing or have contributed to other undergraduate modules such as The Press in Britain, Media Analysis and Journalism and Politics, alongside postgraduate modules such as Theoretical Perspectives on Media and Creative Industries: Theory and Context. Sophie Hope, Lorraine Lim and I also recently co-organized a special postgraduate workshop series titled Doing Research Amongst Technologies: Multimedia, Mulitple Methods and Research Practice Today.
