Hi, I’m CJ Simon

 

I'm a theatre-maker, spoken-word artist, and PhD researcher at the University of Sheffield. I explore the role of popular culture in global politics, with a particular interest in how film, television, and theatre influence and mold our beliefs and behaviors. My research examines the emotional power of narratives and how they shape our understanding of the world.
 
This fascination with the emotional power of popular culture informs all of my work, both academic and creative. On this site, you will find examples of my creative projects, research insights, and upcoming events.

Theatre-Making

Academic Work

PhD Research

University of Sheffield - Department of Politics

Supported by both the White Rose DTP and the Stuart Hall Foundation, I will be exploring the psychological mechanisms that work on audiences when they engage with art. The aim is to understand how theatre, poetry, or film influences our political behaviour and opinions. My focus will be on art that produces or resists white supramacy.

Ongoing Projects
