I was a scientific committee member for the Ecstatic Truth conference 'Decolonizing Animation' (2023) and have presented to the Society for Animation Studies conference (2022). 

I welcome applications from research interests in: animation pedagogy, in particular the role of generative AI in design education, experimental and expanded animation, animated documentary and the decolonisation of animation practice.
