Dr David Butler

Biography

I grew up in West Cumbria and studied Human Communication and Drama at Manchester during the mid-1990s. I gradually began to turn to Film Studies and undertook a PhD (also at Manchester) between October 1996 and January 2000.  After working as a drama practitioner with West Cumbria Youth Service, I took up my first lecturing post in Drama and Screen Studies at the University of Manchester in 2001 before joining the Drama Department as a permanent member of staff in 2003.
