I have published widely in leading academic journals on political and environmental issues in literature, film, society, and history. You can view my CV and publications on academia.edu. There is more information about my research on my University of Leeds profile.
I often comment on current affairs in Latin America for media outlets across the world. I have recently spoken on BBC Radio 4, ABC News, LBC News, and TRT World. Previously, I have been interviewed for France 24, BBC 5 Live, BBC World Service, and BBC Arabic. My writing has appeared in Jacobin, New Internationalist, BBC History Magazine, and e-flux, among other outlets. My archival research has featured on BBC Radio Leeds. I have introduced films and prepared notes for screenings at cinemas, festivals, and film clubs across the United Kingdom. I regularly give presentations on my research in diverse institutional settings.
