Overview

I like to undertake research at the intersection of media, identity and language.  I am currently working with Media Cymru as research associate. My goal is to discover new, innovative and unique characteristics of the Creative Industries taking place in the Cardiff Capital Region. To do so I work together with media producers, entrepreneurs and creative thinkers, learning from their craft and helping them reach their goals through research development and innovation.

I am also a founding member of the International Association for Minority Language Media Research and the Esports Research Network.

Some topics that I engage with are:

  • Bilingual and multilingual media production
  • Cultural transduction: Understanding what makes media products travel from one cultural market to different ones – and why some of them succeed all over the world!
  • Comics and graphic novels
  • International video games
  • Cultural representation and identity in media products
  • Latin American audiovisual markets

I love languages and hope to learn as many of them as possible! I like to think of myself as a new speaker of Welsh. Although I am still learning, I am glad to correspond in Welsh and improve my knowledge of the language every day.
