I am an award winning, internationally renowned academic, teacher, and author. I combine psychoanalytic thought with knowledge and experience of the complex issues that creatives and academics face. My skills and expertise have developed through:

• Establishing and directing university Research Centres and Institutes in Australia and the UK

• Writing, editing, and publishing academic and creative works

• Collaborating with writers and artists

• External research grants (Economic and Social Research Council UK; Research England; the British Academy)

• Leading masterclasses and writing groups

• Designing undergraduate and postgraduate teaching programmes

• Supervising and examining PhDs

• Commissioning books (as editor of the series Gender, Bodies and Transformation, Routledge)
