Past Events
Haunted Modernities, Present Pasts & Spectral Futures Conference
Falmouth University, 16-18 July, 2025
https://darkeconomies.co.uk/haunted-modernities/
I will present a short practice-based paper:
“The two types of horror and how we created a third: Haunting the self in a liminal vacation rental space in short film The Stay”
Look forward to meeting you there!
UPDATE: Regrettably, I am unable to attend the Haunted Modernities, Present Pasts & Spectral Futures Conference this July. My employer Brunel University of London has cut Arts & Humanities conference funding due to massive financial instability in the sector. First world problems, I know, and I am all-too aware how very lucky I am to be in gainful employment. But I reserve the right to be disappointed 🙂 My solidarity and best wishes to all those in academia whose jobs, and research, are at risk. Further information: UCU – News
