Paula Quigley is Associate Professor in the Department of Film at the School of Creative Arts. She is former Head of Department, Director of the MPhil in Film Studies, and Director of Teaching and Learning (Postgraduate). She has published on a wide range of topics in film studies, including the work of Sergei Eisenstein and André Bazin, the impact of psychoanalysis on film theory, and studies of the short film. In addition, she has published on issues of genre and gender, with a focus on iterations of the 'woman's film' in diverse cinematic and cultural contexts. Recent research includes an examination of 'face politics' in the films of Lynne Ramsay and an exploration of maternal gothic/horror cinema. Current research projects are focused on contemporary developments in Irish cinema studies, and women, film, and feminisms in the 21st century. Professor Quigley welcomes enquiries from research students interested in working on aspects of film theory and philosophy, film style, film performance, genre, gender, women and film, feminism and postfeminism, melodrama, female gothic, and various aspects of Hollywood cinema and European cinema.
