Lecturer (Teaching), Faculty of Arts & Humanities, UCL I am an interdisciplinary scholar working across the fields of screen media, cultural studies, literature and language. My research focuses on the Gothic in its many iterations across media, national contexts and historical moments. I have additional research interests in: Film (esp. classical Hollywood cinema, noir and musicals); alternative entertainment (particularly cabaret, burlesque, circus and 'freak shows'); gender politics in film, television and music; intermediality and generic hybridity; representations of mental illness in fiction; political in/correctness, and radical humour; Victorianism (esp. visual culture and mourning practices); and music (esp. film and stage musicals, and musical moments in non-musical films). My monograph, Memory and the Gothic Aesthetic in Film (Palgrave Macmillan, forthcoming in 2024), analyses the Gothic as centrally concerned with memory and informed by the travels of exile and émigré filmmakers. I have published on haptic motifs and what I call ‘sensory contagion’ in gothic cinema; thing theory and creepy dolls in gothic and horror films; portraits in 1940s psychological thrillers; gender politics in postmillennial gothic musicals; sexsationalist feminism; intermediality and radical humour in the repertoire of British punk cabaret trio The Tiger Lillies; and the queer failure and mock heroism of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. I have presented my work at several international conferences in the UK, Canada, Denmark, New Zealand, Austria and Portugal and am a peer reviewer for Fantastika Journal and Studies in the Fantastic I have undertaken UG and MA dissertation supervision in Comparative Literature, Film Studies, Language and Culture (BALC), and Translation Studies on a range of topics including gothic cinema; Francoist cinema; Almada Negreiros; Beyoncé's Lemonade; film and stage musicals; Gothic and Romantic literature and poetry; melancholy (Heimweh) and disenchantment (Entzauberung). I am currently a joint supervisor to two doctoral candidates working towards a PhD in Creative Critical Writing (with Prof Jakob Stougaard-Nielsen) and a PhD in Geography (with Dr James Kneale). I welcome proposals for UG, MA and PhD projects that focus on or overlap with any of the research specialisms above.

Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology, Western Sydney University Janet Conti an Associate Professor of Clinical Psychology in the School of Psychology, a clinical psychologist, AHPRA endorsed supervisor, and dietitian. She is also a credentialled psychologist with the Australian and New Zealand Academy of Eating Disorders. Janet's clinical experience informs her research that prioritises giving voice to peoples’ experiences of anorexia nervosa (AN) and other Eating Disorders (EDs) and their experience of its treatment. She has contributed to pedagogical shifts in Western Sydney University’s Master of Clinical Psychology and Master of Professional Psychology programs to increase students’ skills development across a range of therapeutic interventions; to increase awareness and sensitivity to cultural and individual diversity in ways that optimise client voice and appropriate response; and to engage in reflective practice early in the training to ensure an active participation in their professional development. Her teaching pedagogy is fundamentally based on respect and engaged, value-based experiential classroom learning that invites reflective practice in the building of professional identity. Janet's research is focused on giving voice to the person/family touched by Eating Disorders (ED) and its treatment. Her research demonstrates and advocates for the prioritisation of the person/family’s voice to inform therapeutic interventions and for clinicians to develop skills in tailoring treatments to the person/family. She has a particular interest in qualitative research, including critical discusive approaches.
