Following on from a recent post from and , maybe we can begin a sub-community of academics, or those with a PhD who might be outside of academia... as a support group or something? Might be curious to see areas have come from. To start: my PhD research was in colonial British film policy in the Asia-Pacific region to the 1920s and 30s, and the resistance against Hollywood. And I also have a MFA in Film and Theatre. Have been bouncing from one short-term contract to the next for the last 10 years as I don't seem to 'fit' anywhere.
What is your research in... and what is your focus now?
