Current research
My work takes me across a number of different fields that intersect with an interest and research expertise in Holocaust studies and education, Post-war Britain, museums and public history, film and television studies, history, race and racism. I am currently researching how the Holocaust has been reported, depicted and imagined by the BBC (news broadcast, current affairs and magazine programmes, dramas and documentaries on radio and television). This emerged from an initial project looking at the role and representation of Jews and Jewishness at the BBC.

Biography
I came to Southampton in 1994 as an undergraduate having spent eight years working in finance. A BA English and History was followed by an MA in Jewish History and Culture and then a PhD titled Bearing Witness to the Holocaust in the Courtroom of American Fictive Film.
In 2005-6 I worked as Teaching Fellow in Jewish Fictions and Modernism, then spent four years as the Ian Karten Fellow under the auspices of English and the Parkes Institute for Jewish/non-Jewish Relations. I have since been Karten Lecturer and Karten Associae Professor in Jewish/non-Jewish Relations.
I am currently the Head of English, the co-editor of the journal Holocaust Studies and board member of the British Association for Holocaust Studies.
