Helton Levy

I am a London-based journalist, lecturer and researcher. I work as lecturer in digital and visual media at London Metropolitan University.

My research interests lie in understanding transformative aspects of digital media produced from the margins of the contemporary city in its technological, visual, and discursive convergence.

I am the author of Globalized Queerness (Bloomsbury, 2023) and The Internet, Politics, and Inequality in Contemporary Brazil: Peripheral Media (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018). I have published widely on digital activist cultures, social media discourse, queer media, and Latin American studies.

I hold a PhD in Sociology from City, University of London and an M.A. in Media and Communications from the same university. I hold two B.A. degrees, one in Journalism and another in Humanities, with a minor in Art History. In the past, I held teaching and research positions at City, University of London, King’s College London, University College London, and John Cabot University in Rome.

I am also a visual artist and an arts writer.
