About
In 2010, I obtained my PhD in Film-Philosophy from the University of Cambridge (Emma Wilson, Supervisor; passed without corrections by Ian James, Cambridge, Advisor, and James Williams, Dundee, External Examiner) following the completion of my MA at York University, Canada (Janine Marchessault, Supervisor; Michael Zryd, Advisor; Barbara Godard, External), and Honours BA in Cinema Studies and English at the University of Toronto.
My PhD study, Untimely Affects: Violence and Sensation through Marker and Resnais, was entirely funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (4 year Doctoral Award; declined SSHRC Canadian Government Scholarship), University of Cambridge Commonwealth Trust Bursary and Overseas Research Scheme. Awards include the Marion Kennedy Continuing Research Studentship (Newnham College, University of Cambridge), George Vari Graduate Award in Film and Video (York University, Canada) and Norman Jewison Fellowship in Film Studies (University of Toronto).
I am author of the book Untimely Affects: Gilles Deleuze and The Ethics of Cinema (Plateaus - New Directions in Deleuze Studies, Edinburgh University Press, forthcoming 2012), co-editor with Charlie Blake of the volume Deleuze and Affect, and among publications have book chapters and essays in Deleuze Studies ('Schizoanalysis and Visual Culture', Edinburgh University Press, July 2011); Open Letter: A Canadian Journal of Writing and Theory (‘Remembering Barbara Godard’, Fourteenth Series, Number 6, Summer 2011); Anamnesia: Private and Public Memory in Modern French Culture (Peter Lang, November 2009); and Gilles Deleuze: Image and Text (Continuum, 2009).
Prior to a 2010 Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities, University of Edinburgh, I lectured for four film-philosophy and theory courses as a Teaching Fellow at the University of Aberdeen (2009-2010) and am currently affiliated with the Visible City Project + Archive under the direction of Janine Marchessault, York University, Canada.
I will join Brown University in 2012 and look forward to participating in the Pembroke Center "Economies of Perception" seminar led by Timothy Bewes, Department of English, Brown University.
My new book project, Beyond Self and Screen: Affective Encounters through Film and Philosophy, expressly interrogates the concept of self and subjectivity as constituted in filmic practice and continental philosophy.
