Personal Profile I am a writer, researcher and PhD student who specialises in representations of Antarctica in cultural production. With a background in languages (BA in German with First Class Honours, University of Auckland), I have now turned my attention to the south. My interests include how Antarctica has been used and depicted in the theatre and in advertising, as well as human interactions with and imagined versions of the southern continent. These are all topics on which I have lectured whilst working on board an Antarctic cruise ship. I am a strong researcher, writer and speaker, something reflected both in my academic achievements and my publications to date.

PhD Project Not For Sale?: Symbolic Representations of Antarctica for Commercial Purposes Antarctica is unique in that is governed by the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) and is not ‘owned’ by any one nation. Despite this, and the environmental protection built into the ATS, Antarctica has been ‘sold’ in many ways. Ever since the Heroic Era, the exotic lure of the Far South has been used by explorers as a way to gain sponsorship for expeditions. In more recent times, the tourist experience of the continent is a prime example of a commercial operation that offers a particular version of the South. As advertisements make use of ideas that already in cultural circulation, they provide an ideal medium for this investigation into Antarctic tropes and representations. Gaining an understanding of the narratives that have been associated with Antarctica and how Antarctica has been used to facilitate a range of commercial transactions will provide an insight into the ways the continent has been imagined, conceptualised and represented. This in turn will help to create a better understanding of the ways Antarctica has been valued, in a variety of senses.
