Niall Richardson

I've been teaching at the University of Sussex since 2007. Prior to that, I was a lecturer at the University of Sunderland.

I convene MA Gender and Media.

My research focuses on the representation of minority groups in film and media - especially how these identifications intersect with gender and sexuality politics. I have written about the representation of lesbians and gays, disability, transgender identifications and ageing.
