Dr Amelia (Milly) Morris (She/Her)

I am a cultural and media theorist, with research that spans a wide range of topics, including: austerity, poverty, reality TV, gender, the body, dieting and celebrity culture. Although these interests are varied, the crux of my work's focus is the relationship between popular culture and socioeconomic issues, and theoretically, I am inspired by the work of scholars such as Stuart Hall, Judith Butler, Michel Foucault and Angela McRobbie. I am currently thinking about fandoms, Taylor Swift, reproductive labour, 'more than' human speciesism, and celebrity culture in an age of perma-crisis. In 2024, I co-founded The Centre for Gender, Media and Sexuality, which I now co-steer with my colleagues Drs. Hanne Stegeman, Haili Li, Woori Han and Professor Andrea Medrad. 

I love working and living in Devon, and outside of academia, my favourite thing to do is to walk the beautiful South West Coastal Path or Dartmoor with my partner and dog.
