Personal profile

Biography

I am a social and cultural historian of warfare. I  completed my undergraduate degree and PhD at the University of Strathclyde (with an MSc in Social History from the University of Glasgow), graduating for the final time in July 2013. After graduation I worked on the AHRC-funded oral history project ‘Masculinities Challenged?’, a large-scale oral history project examining the lives of men in reserved occupations during the Second World War. I then taught at Teesside University (2015-2017) before joining Northumbria University in September 2017. I am currently completing a project, previously funded by the AHRC, on the lived experiences of Britain's Second World War conscientious objectors.

Research interests

I am predominantly interested in the civilian experience of modern warfare. My previous research focused on the lived experiences and cultural representations of civilian men at work in the Second World War. My current research predominatly focuses on the lives of British Conscientious Objectors in the Second World War.
