Associate teaching fellow, Film and Television Studies, University of Warwick
Leanne’s research typically explores the intersections between popular music, memory, and nostalgia. She is currently working on her first monograph, which explores memory and materiality in music programming.
She has published writing on televised music histories, arts programming and the life of BBC Four, and the television documentaries on Amy Winehouse. She has also written several book chapters on the function and meaning of film scores in Watership Down (1978), and the films of Jane Campion and Julie Taymor. She is also interested in biopics, and performance and stardom. Her forthcoming co-written chapter explores these issues in television dramas on Cilla Black and Shirley Bassey.
