About Alix Beeston
I'm an interdisciplinary writer, critic, and academic based in Cardiff, Wales. I research and teach feminist approaches to film, photography, and literature in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, while also experimenting with new forms of scholarly writing and dissemination. I'm the author of In and Out of Sight: Modernist Writing and the Photographic Unseen (Oxford University Press, 2018) and the co-editor, with Stefan Solomon, of Incomplete: The Feminist Possibilities of the Unfinished Film (University of California Press, 2023), which won Best Edited Collection from the Society of Cinema and Media Studies and the British Association of Film, Television and Screen Studies. I've published criticism and reviews in venues including LA Review of Books, Public Books, Senses of Cinema, and Sydney Review of Books. I'm currently working on two scholarly–trade books: a critical–creative account of women and girls in photography and a co-edited edition of Kathleen Collins's plays and screenplays.NBN Episodes hosted by Alix:
