Katarzyna Kosmala, PhD, is Professor of Culture, Media and Visual Arts at the University of the West of Scotland, Visiting Research Fellow at the European Institute of Gender Studies GEXcel at Linkoping University and Orebro University, Sweden, an art writer and a curator. She writes regularly about video, performance and new media art in international journals and catalogues. Her book Imagining Masculinities: Spatial and Temporal Representation and Visual Culture (2013, Routledge) investigates representations of men and masculinities in contemporary culture, and examples of visual art that deconstruct those representations, through a European perspective and by applying an international lens. She recently co-edited Art Inquiry on Crossing Borders: Imaging Europe, Representing Periphery (with Kluszczynski) (Lodzkie Towarzystwo Naukowe, 2013), and is currently working on a book titled The Arts, Social and Organisational Change: Precarious Spaces (Intellect Press).
