Dr Sara Dominici (she/her)

I am a scholar of photographic history and visual culture. My research interests are located at the intersection of photography studies, and the cultural and material history of media and technologies, and focus on three main intertwined areas: popular photographic cultures; technologically-enhanced practices of mobility and vision; and photographers’ engagement with the infrastructures and networks of modernity, looking in particular at the British context in the period from the late nineteenth to the mid twentieth century. I am the author of Travel Marketing and Popular Photography in Britain: Reading the Travel Image (Routledge, 2018) and of numerous articles on the relationship between photography and, amongst others, modern vision, cycle technologies, the postal system, darkroom networks, communities of practice, and travel and leisure experiences more generally.

I am Senior Lecturer at the University of Westminster (London), where I am the Course Leader for the MA in Art and Visual Culture, and the Course co-Leader for the MA Museums, Galleries and Contemporary Culture and MA Museums, Galleries and Contemporary Culture with Professional Experience. Currently, I am also a Visiting Scholar at the Photographic History Research Centre, De Montfort University (2021-2023).
