I am an Australian academic, author, artist and auteur. I recently completed a PhD in Social Inquiry at La Trobe University, Melbourne. My research focuses on the way advertising reflects broader cultural trends. In my work, I examine advertising as an art form. My interdisciplinary project covers topics such as economics, climate change, and politics with a focus on how advertisements from organisations such as banks, NGOs, and political parties reflect a ‘structure of feeling’ called Metamodernism.

I am a published author. My work includes “Between Hope and Melancholy: A Metamodern Examination of Lars Von Trier's Melancholia” (2022) and “New Lives, New Research Agendas: Sociology Amid and Beyond the Pandemic Symposium“ (2022). As an artist and auteur, I use stockfootage to create narratives which exemplify the metamodern sensibility. 

I am a prominent member of the AHRC Metamodernism Research Network having hosted the Melbourne Metamodernism Conference at La Trobe University (2023). I am a regular contributor to the network. I have presented at the Seattle Metamodernism Summit (2022), the Melbourne Metamodernism Conference (2023), and the Glocal Metamodernism Conference in Jyväskylä, Finland (2023).
