He has since published 16 books and over 200 articles that relate to film, media, children's geographies, child rights, and youth activism. Jacob Rowlett is a PhD candidate whose dissertation focuses on film and media geographies. He is particularly interested in the impact of film in relation to human environments. His research spans across the fields of critical geography, tourism studies, and film theory and history.
