Biography

I am currently Course Organiser of 'Sexual Politics & The Image', 'The Making of "Black British" Art and Film', and the 'Guided Research Placement' of the MSc by Research Collections and Curating Practices.

My research focuses on contemporary art and theory relating to institutions, institutional critique, displacement, and gendered labour. Between 2022 and 2024, I worked as Research Associate in the AHRC-funded research project ‘Understanding Displacement Aesthetics and Making Change in the Art Gallery with Refugees, Migrants and Host Communities’ (2021-24) at the University of Manchester. I am co-author of the monograph 'Understanding Displacement Aesthetics: History, Art, Museums' (Manchester University Press, forthcoming) and co-curator of the collections-based exhibitions 'Traces of Displacement' (Whitworth, 2023-24) and 'Rethinking the Grand Tour' (Manchester Art Gallery, 2022-25) along with displaced artists and community advisors. I have previously taught in modern and contemporary art history at the University of Edinburgh and Newcastle University and published on socially engaged practice and work in art institutions.
