My research on global and transnational cinema focuses on French/Francophone and Japanese cinemas, documentary, ecocinema, and nuclear culture. Currently, I am working on a project on transnational film production and filmmakers who work in translation. This builds on work in my first book Through a Nuclear Lens: France, Japan, and Cinema from Hiroshima to Fukushima in which I argue that Franco-Japanese exchange in cinema continues a longer tradition of mutual cultural fascination that becomes reoriented in the postwar period around nuclear concerns and their broader environmental implications.

In the FLA, I teach courses on global cinema, and media, technology, and the environment. I also teach a Core course on critical thinking.
