Personal profile
Research interests (short)
My research is concerned with the visual representation of warfare, in particular through comedic media such as cartoons, caricatures and comic books. In response to the framing of international relations in tragic terms by writers such as Ned Lebow, I am also interested in using a comedic framework to expand our understanding of politics.
