Biography

Lisa’s research examines fashion, clothing and uniform in popular culture through a sociological and historical lens to expose the ways clothing defines identity and social roles. Her PhD examined the ways that Australian women utilise 1950s style to fashion their identities. Lisa is the co-founder (along with Dr Jo Coghlan and Mr Huw Nolan) of the & Popular Culture Research Network & which brings together scholars and researchers who share a fascination in the academic inquiry into all manner of mass phenomena. Her current research includes the study of the use of female Second World War pilot’s uniforms in propaganda, an examination into the appropriation of film character style by fans, and the British Royal Family in popular culture.
