Description of research and teaching

I am a social science historian, who has made several comprehensive studies on media history and intellectual history. As a media historian I have have published textbooks (e.g.  Media in History. An Introduction to the Meanings and Transformations of Communication over Time, LondonMacmillan Red Globe Press, 2019) and theoretical articles (e.g. ’Temporalities and Theory in Media History’ Media History Published online: 16 Jun 2021) and studied the history of television, advertising, journalism and documentary film. As a social historian, I have been interested in intellectual history, historical culture, university history, culture and student activism, the history of everyday life, the history of consumption and modernisation processes.
