Dr Abigail Keating is Lecturer in Film and Screen Media at University College Cork. She was awarded her PhD at UCC in 2014, with a thesis on transnationalism in contemporary European cinemas. Prior to that, she studied at UCC and Université de Bordeaux, taking a BA in Language and Cultural Studies and MA in Film Studies with a thesis on women in the cinema of Pedro Almodóvar.

er main research areas include: women and contemporary media; contemporary cinemas, particularly European and nonfiction; pop culture; and digital screen culture. She has contributed articles and essays to such publications as Studies in Documentary Film, New Cinemas: Journal of Contemporary Film, Film-Philosophy, Directory of World Cinema, Glocal Ireland: Current Perspectives on Literature and the Visual Arts, and Amateur Filmmaking: The Home Movie, the Archive, the Web. And she is currently working on a monograph on the topic of women across screen media in twenty-first century Ireland.

For several years, she has worked as a freelance video editor, videographer, photographer, and web designer for a number of local and national organisations and publications. She has previously lectured at the Irish Film Institute, Dublin. And she has also worked as a research assistant and video editor on the nationally funded project Capturing the Nation: Irish Home Movies, 1930-1970, a collaboration between UCC and the Irish Film Institute.

In 2011, she co-founded the open access journal Alphaville: Journal of Film and Screen Media with colleagues in Film and Screen Media at UCC, of which she has since been a member of the Editorial Board and the web designer and content editor.
