Emily-Rose's current research examines the relationship of the Holocaust to the horror genre in transnational film, and is funded by the British Academy.
Emily-Rose joined the Department of English and the Parkes Institute for the Study of Jewish/non-Jewish Relations in January 2023 as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. She completed her WRoCAH-funded PhD in the School of English at the University of Sheffield in 2021, before joining the Ackerman Center for Holocaust Studies at the University of Texas at Dallas as a Visiting Assistant Professor of Film.
Her publications on Holocaust film include articles and chapters (online, in print and forthcoming) on animal witnessing (Patterns of Prejudice, 2026); creaturely aeshetics and surrealism (Animality and Horror Cinema, 2025); eco-memory (Environment, Space and Place, 2023); posttraumatic landscapes (Invisible Wounds, 2020) and necropolitics (Genealogies, 2019). Her first monograph, Cultures of Holocaust Memory in Central and Eastern Europe, will be published with Palgrave Macmillan in 2026.
