Teaching
Sean teaches modules on The Western, Post-War European Cinema, and Crime Cinema. He is presently exploring ways of making connections between his research and his teaching by drawing students into the process of conducting oral history interviews with men and women who have spent their working lives in the British film and television industries.Activities:
