Having taught as a postgraduate tutor at Leeds, in 1994 he was appointed a lecturer at the Scarborough unit of the University of Hull. He primarily taught popular culture, using the television series Buffy the Vampire Slayer as a guideline. He subsequently became Senior Lecturer in Culture and Media Studies at the University of Hull before his appointment at Kingston University in the fall of 2010. Subsequently, he moved to Hallam and taught across English, TV, Film, Theory and Drama. His research continues to be equally diverse and he has recently been working on the films of Aryan Kaganof as well as his continuing work on Whedon and modern literature.
