My PhD in French Studies (2015) and BA International (2010) were awarded by NUI Galway. I currently work as Lecturer in French (permanent) at Technological University Dublin. My primary research interest is French interwar cinema, particularly representations of gender, class and colonialism in the films of Jean Renoir, Jacques Feyder and Marcel Carné. Since 2010, I have held a Visiting Researcher scholarship at the University of California, Los Angeles, and have lectured on European cinema, American cinema, French literature and translation across a variety of third-level institutes including TU Dublin, Trinity College, NUI Galway and l'Université de Bretagne-Sud, Lorient. I have published across a range of journals including French Studies (Oxford UP), SubStance (Johns Hopkins UP), Film History (Indiana UP), Nottingham French Studies (Edinburgh UP) and the Australian Journal of French Studies (Liverpool UP), and my research has attracted a number of external sponsors including the Irish Research Council, the Society for French Studies and the Irish Association for French Studies in association with the Swiss Embassy in Ireland. I authored a monograph based on my PhD thesis, which was published by Edinburgh University Press in 2018. I am currently preparing additional projects on Belgian director Pierre Chenal and French popular cinema of the 1950s.
