Other research and teaching interests

I have numerous other research and teaching interests. I have always had a keen interest in literary theory, particularly in relation to anti-capitalism and critical urban studies within the literary and cinematic genre of American Noir. I also have significant interest in Situationist theory, particularly in its usefulness as a guide to understand the differences between rural and urban alienation. I also have interest in the following areas of study: 

• Art criticism

• Cultural studies

• Social theory

• Psychogeography

• Labour process theory

• Theories of reification

• The commodification of space and culture

• Political imaginaries and political consciousness
