I began my academic career in 1992 as a lecturer at the University of Melbourne in the Department of English with Cultural Studies and by 2002 was promoted to the rank of Associate Professor and Reader. From 2003-2010 I was at the University of Auckland. In 2007 I was promoted to the rank of Professor and from 2008-2010 was the Head of the Department of Film, Television and Media Studies.

I have held a number of invited international fellowships including stints as a Visiting Scholar at the Australian National University Humanities Research Centre, an International Scholar at the Center for Research on Gender and Sexuality at New York University and the John Hinkley Visiting Professor at the English Department, Johns Hopkins University.

I came to the University of Sydney in 2011 to take up the position of Head of the School of Letters, Art and Media.
