Dieser Autor befasst sich mit der komplexen Beziehung zwischen Medien und Kultur und erforscht deren Erscheinungsformen in Film, Fernsehen und aufkommenden digitalen Landschaften. Seine Arbeit untersucht kritisch die Schnittstellen von Klasse, Geschlecht und Rasse und untersucht, wie diese sozialen Konstrukte unser Verständnis von Bürgerschaft und politischer Theorie prägen.

Durch umfangreiche redaktionelle Tätigkeiten und akademische Beiträge gestaltet er den Diskurs über kulturelle Arbeit und Politik mit.
