- Digital platforms and cultures, examining social media, platform affordances, and mediatized publics as social spaces shaped by political economy and power relations.
- Class and gender representation, focusing on working‑class identities, labour, precarity, and the intersection of class, gender, and inequality in media and cultural production.
- Media ecology, analysing how overlapping media forms, infrastructures, and cultural environments shape social behaviour, identity formation, and collective life.
- Marxist analysis of media and culture, drawing on political economy and critical social theory to understand capitalism, ideology, and resistance in contemporary cultural practices.
