Biography
Dr Hackett is a Cultural Historian. She is a founding member of the Popular Culture Research Network (PopCRN), alongside Dr Jo Coghlan and Mr Huw Nolan. Together, they have cultivated a space for scholarly engagement with the everyday, recognising popular culture not as ephemera but as a site of profound meaning-making. Her current projects include an analysis of the Second World War-era uniforms worn by female pilots and their deployment in wartime propaganda; a study of sartorial appropriation by fan communities in cinematic contexts; and a broader investigation into the semiotics of the British Royal Family within contemporary popular discourse.
She serves on the Editorial Board of Popular Culture Review and continues to supervise higher degree research students working in popular culture, cultural history, material culture and romance novels.
