- Associate Professor in Twentieth-Century British History

I did my undergraduate degree in history at St Hugh's college, Oxford. I did the MPhil in European History at St Catharine's College, Cambridge, where I also did my PhD. From 2013-15 I was a Junior Research Fellow at Clare College, Cambridge. From 2015 I have been a lecturer in twentieth century British history at UCL.


I am a historian of twentieth century Britain. My PhD examined political and popular ideas about class in England between c. 1969 and 2000. I have published work on Thatcher, including ‘Neo-liberalism and morality in the making of Thatcherite social policy’, in the Historical Journal (2012), and on New Labour, including ‘“Class” in the development of British Labour Party ideology, 1983-1997’, in Archiv für Sozialgeschichte (2013). Other historical subjects I have published on include gender, sexuality and prostitution. I am currently turning my PhD thesis into a book, and working on a project with Natalie Thomlinson (Reading) on women's activism in the miners' strike of 1984-5. For my next major project I plan to examine homelessness in twentieth century London.
