<p>My early research interests were broadly situated within the relationship between visual culture, place and identity and more specifically, the geographies of national identity, multiculturalism and the spaces of the art gallery. These interests were further developed into a related but more specific engagement with the geographies of the Atlantic world and the constitution of abstract expressionism as an'Atlantic art'. This work was informed by theoretical engagements with critical histories of the Atlantic world and the constitution of this world through temporal-spatial networks of cultural circulation. My current resesarch has extended a long standing interest in visual culture and landscape into critical understandings of nature and the geographies of human-wildlife relations. More specifically I have been interested in the relationship between humans and starlings and how the status of starlings has shifted from being regarded as a pest to becoming a wildlife spectacle. Furthermore I am intertested in how this informs critical understandings of the geographies of'nature' as well as the role of non-humans in challenging and defining these understandings. </p><p><strong>Selected publications</strong></p><p><span>Morris, A (2018) Educational landscapes and the environmental entang</span><span>lement of humans and non-humans through the starling murm</span><span>uration, </span><em>The Geographical Journal (early view)</em></p><p>Morris, A (2005) The Cultural Geographies of Abstract Expressionism: Painters, Critics, Dealers and the Production of an Atlantic Art,<em>Social and Cultural Geography</em>vol.6 (3), pp. 421-437.</p><p>Morris and Tolia-Kelly (2004) Disruptive Aesthetics?
