Dan Santos

Dan Santos

Dan has a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) and a Bachelor of Science from the University of Melbourne, and is currently completing a PhD in Geography at Clark University in Worcester, USA. He is interested in studying how genetic technologies are changing nature-society relations. Unsurprisingly, he is a fan of cerebral sci-fi, but his film interests are broadly eclectic – he has thoroughly enjoyed films from directors as diverse as David Fincher, Terrence Malick and the Dardenne brothers.
