Kay Dickinson is a Reader at the University of Glasgow, where she engages in research that examines revolutionary and anti-colonial popular media in the Arab world, focusing on its function in resistance against global capital. Her scholarly work includes co-editing anthologies and authoring two monographs: 'Arab Cinema Travels: Transnational Syria, Palestine, Dubai' and 'Arab Film Video Manifestos'. Her recent projects investigate the contributions of Arab migrants to the creative economy in Europe and the Arabian Gulf, with a persistent concern for labor practices and rights influencing her work. Dickinson's earlier notable publication, 'Key: Film Music Won’t Work Together', sought to understand the traditions surrounding film music industries within the context of the creative economy's labor landscape. Her upcoming work, 'Supply Chain Cinema: Producing Global Film Workers', continues these investigations, highlighting educational structures that facilitate offshored film production between the UK and UAE. Additionally, she has received significant grants for various projects, including those examining the role of migrant film labor and the impact of the Arab uprisings on video cultures. As a supervisor, she welcomes students whose interests align with her expertise in media from the Arab world and anti-colonial approaches, and she has twenty years of experience supervising diverse subjects in this field.
