Estella TinCknell
AsscoCiate Professor in FIlm and Culture, UWE

I am currently Associate Professor of Film and Culture, having worked across the two fields of Film Studies and Cultural Studies throughout my teaching career. I studied at the world renowned Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Birmingham before becoming a full-time academic. I joined UWE in 2004 as Associate Head of the School of Cultural Studies and then led that School (or department) between 2006 and 2008. I am now the co-Programme Manager for the undergraduate degree in Film alongside my colleague, Kathrina Glitre.

I am a member of the UK based Women, Aging, Media (WAM) research network, and also chair the Gender and Culture Research Group within the Department of Arts. Alongside my colleague, Josephine Dolan, I contributed to the Labour Comission on older Women in Public Life in 2013 and have been an invited speaker on aging and media representation for a range of public organisations.

I also co-edit The Soundtrack, a journal of music, film and the moving image.

My research interests are centred on four main areas:

• popular film and media genres, especially representations of gender and identity within those forms;
• music and cinema, including film musicals, film soundtracks, and popular music on screen;
• aging, gender and culture, especially media representations of aging femininity and their associated discourses;
• New Zealand cinema, in particular the films of Jane Campion. I have written and published widely on these topics and my most recent publications include Jane Campion and Adaptation: Angels, Demons and Unsettling Voices (Palgrave Macmillan, 2013) and Aging Femininities, Troubling Representations (Cambridge Scholars, 2012, with Dr J Dolan). My research is informed by feminist and materialist traditions of critical analysis and a firm commitment to social transformation.
