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 the papers and talks that I have given on my University of Leeds profile. 

I often comment on current affairs in Latin America for media outlets including BBC 5 Live, BBC World Service, BBC Arabic, BBC Wales, Sputnik, and TRT World. My writing has appeared in specialist outlets such as Art Monthly, New Internationalist, BBC History Magazine, and e-flux. 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.
