Biography

I am an art historian of modern and contemporary art, with a particular interest in politics, digital media, and questions of subjectivity. I received my PhD from University College London in 2021. Before joining the department, I taught art history at the University of Warwick and Northeastern University London. 

Research

My research at York considers the ways in which contemporary artists have investigated the relations between digital media and far-right populism. This work will culminate in a monograph, Art After Trump: Sculpture and subjectivity in an age of algorithmic capitalism, that is forthcoming with Manchester University Press.
