About Wendy
Associate Professor Wendy Haslem serves in the School of Culture and Communication, Faculty of Arts at the University of Melbourne, where she holds the position of Associate Professor in Screen Studies. Possessing a PhD, her academic career at the University has progressed from Lecturer to Senior Lecturer and subsequently to Associate Professor. Previously, she acted as Academic Director of the Bachelor of Arts and continues to coordinate key subjects including Introduction to Screen Studies (SCRN10001), Film Noir: History and Sexuality (SCRN30004), and Censorship: Film, Art and Media (SCRN40013). Haslem's research specializes in developing innovative approaches to film history, particularly animation history and spectrality across cinema and new media. Her work investigates the intersections of film studies with new media technologies, encompassing immersive and interactive cinema, experimental film, transmedia phenomena like superheroes, film distribution and festivals, and representations of climate emergency in media art.
Haslem is the author of the book From Méliès to New Media: Spectral Projections, which traces spectral elements from early filmmaker Georges Méliès to contemporary digital projections. She co-edited Super/Heroes: From Hercules to Superman, exploring the creative force, cultural zeitgeist, and transmedia dimensions of superheroes. Notable publications include 'teamLab Borderless: Bridging Borders in Simulated Ecologies,' analyzing immersive art's engagement with spatial borders and climate issues; 'Projecting the Colors of Vision,' examining color, animation, and virtual reality in experimental film; 'Traces of the New in the Old: Distribution and Exhibition in Early and Late Film Culture'; and contributions to Senses of Cinema such as 'MIFF at 70' and 'Australia Re-imagined through Archive Cinema.' Her scholarship bridges historical film practices with modern media forms, contributing to understandings of media evolution, audience engagement, and cultural impacts in screen studies. Haslem participates in public discourse through initiatives like Community Conversations with the Melbourne International Film Festival Artistic Director Al Cossar and articles in Pursuit by the University of Melbourne.
