Dr Marcus Nicholls

Associate Professor in Film and Media
London School of Film, Media and Design

An interdisciplinary approach to research and teaching means that I teach across the Film, Media and English courses at UWL. My PhD looked at concepts from adaptation studies in relation to Decadent literature and the writing of J.-K. Huysmans. However, since then my work has branched out into diverse explorations of intertextual decay and mysticism, hauntology, the EcoGothic, ageing in horror films and practice-based approaches to research.

Teaching

My current teaching covers areas such as world-building in theory and practice, film analysis through video essays and the politics of science fiction’s imagined futures.
