Biography

Angus studied for his first degree in Art History at the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. After two years working as a financial journalist he then took a Masters degree in International Relations and a DPhil in International Political Economy (IPE) at the University of Sussex. His thesis, Globalization, Social Exclusion and the Discursive Localization of Poverty, combined elements of constructivist IPE with theorization of the 'social exclusion' agenda then current in UK politics. After four years as a research associate in the Geography Department at Durham University, Angus came to Leicester in 2001. After lecturing in the Geography Department for 10 years, Angus moved to the School of Management in June 2011. Since 2008 Angus has extended his academic work by acting as 'spokesperson' for Swedish performance artists goldin+senneby on their ongoing project 'Headless'.

Research Interests

Angus' primary research interests address the broad themes of spatiality, representation and performance. Empirically this has embraced topics of money, offshore finance, boundaries, taxation, cartography, discourses of inclusion/exclusion/exception, semiotics and the mythical figure of the Trickster. His current interests include the relationship between the contemporary state and the body and the construction of 'xenospaces' - fictional but functional spaces of exteriority. Angus also continues to collaborate with goldin+senneby and other contemporary artists.

PhD Supervision

Angus currently supervises the following PhD students:

Alan Pulis (part-time), Tzu-Min Chu (full-time), Ali Abubrig (full-time), Mahbuba Moammer (full-time).
