I am a London-based journalist, researcher, visual artist, and educator. I work as a senior lecturer in media at London Metropolitan University. My research interests lie in understanding socially transformative aspects of digital media with an emphasis on queer and urban studies. I am the author of Globalized Queerness: Identities and Commodities in Queer Popular Culture (Bloomsbury, 2023) and The Internet, Politics, and Inequality in Contemporary Brazil: Peripheral Media (Rowman & Littlefield, 2018). I have published widely on digital activist cultures, critical geographies, and social media discourse. 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. I am also the chair and co-founder of the Urban Media and Participatory Spaces Research Group. As a visual artist, I am interested in themes related to cities, gender, and the uncanny. 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.
