About
Isobel graduated with a degree in Film and History from the University of Southampton in 2023. Her research interests include the representation of women in film and modern social history, with a focus on the experiences of women and marginalised groups. Her undergraduate dissertation, entitled ‘“You don’t want to be in love, you want to be in love in a movie”: Representations of women, heterosexual relationships and society in romantic comedies between 1989 and 2001’, focussed on post-feminism, the trivialisation of women’s interests, as well as the evolution of idealised womanhood and gender roles in the late 20th Century.
She is taking a year away from university before starting a masters in Film Studies next year. Isobel wants to pursue a career in writing and research… maybe with a PhD thrown in there if she isn’t sick of education by then!
