Profile
I am a historian of modern Britain who specialises in gender history, urban history, and oral history. Before joining the University of Leeds in 2026 I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the University of Worcester (2025-6) and a Lecturer in Global Economic History at the University of Manchester (2025-6). I completed my PhD in History at the University of Manchester in 2025, supported by an ESRC studentship and a Royal Historical Society Centenary Fellowship at the Institute of Historical Research.
Research interests
I am interested in the social and cultural history of modern Britain. My current project explores the ways that women’s lives intersected with processes of urban change during the twentieth century, as well as how social relations were produced through space and the built environment.
