Clare Birchall is a Lecturer in Cultural Studies at the University of Kent’s School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research (since 2008). Before that she was teaching at Sussex and Middlesex.

After a degree in English Literature at Exeter University, she studied for her MA in Critical Theory and DPhil in Culture and Communication at Sussex University.

She worked for a long time on conspiracy theories and other popular knowledges, but have now moved towards the politics of secrets and secrecy. This has developed into an interest in “transparency” as a cultural metaphor.

She is the author of Knowledge Goes Pop: From Conspiracy Theory to Gossip (Berg, 2006), co-editor (with Gary Hall) of New Cultural Studies: Adventures in Theory (EUP, 2006), and editor of a special issue of Cultural Studies (21 (1) 2007) and Theory, Culture & Society (28 (7-8) 2011). She is also the reviews editor for Culture Machine and involved with various online projects including Liquid Theory TV, Liquid Books, and the Open Humanities Press.
