About Publications Teaching

About

I am a historian of modern Britain and the British Empire, with a particular focus on intersections between the media, politics and popular culture.

I am originally from Manchester in the UK, and I did my undergraduate and Master's degrees at the University of Liverpool and my PhD at the University of Sheffield. I have previously taught a wide range of courses at the University of Sheffield, Queen Mary University London, the London School of Economics and City University London.
