\nMy research is concerned with the emotional and political metamorphoses of the relational self, via engagement with film and the moving image (although I have also published widely on [mainly French] literature). I am especially interested in blankness and splitting as responses to trauma, and draw on pseudo-fantastical or ‘weird’ cinema, psychoanalytic theory and practice, and the politics of class, \u2018race\u2019, gender and stigma in my attempt to build a dynamic theory and practice of integrated psychosocial transformation. I am currently editing a special issue of the Journal of Psychosocial Studies<\/em>, based on a symposium I recently organised entitled ‘Sanity, Madness and the Family: An Urgent Retrospective’. (The audio podcast is available to listen to below.) I am in the early stages of a book project at the intersection of film studies, psychoanalysis and community action, provisionally entitled Something to Watch Over Me: Trauma, Aliveness and the Half-Moving Image. Other current projects include a video-essay on internal objects (using Cronenberg) and another video-essay on dissociation (using Sissy Spacek). I currently convene the Birkbeck Psychoanalysis Working Group (BISR) and am a Co-Editor of the journal Studies in Gender and Sexuality<\/em>. I am also a member of the Editorial Board of the journal Studies in French Cinema<\/em>.<\/span>
