Research Interests
My seemingly various research interests ranging from emancipatory pedagogy to media to intellectual and cultural history can be summarised and distilled into five words: ethics and philosophy of attention. So what does “attention” mean to me? Well, it’s represented in my interest in “slow looking” in arts and education, it’s seeking to uncover “hidden histories” of the seemingly “voiceless” in order to qualify normative readings of history, and it’s thinking through the ethics of precarity.Research Grants
