Postdoctoral Appointments
In 2016-2017 I was a Research Follow in the Department of History, Classics and Archaeology at Birkbeck College, University of London.
I was awarded a PhD in British Cultural History and Feminist Studies in 2010 from the University of California, where I was supervised by Erika Rappaport, a scholar of gender, consumerism, and globalisation. After my PhD, I was appointed the first Elizabeth and Cecil Kent Postdoctoral Fellow in British History at the University of Saskatchewan. I completed a two-year Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) postdoctoral fellowship. My SSHRC fellowship was sponsored by McGill University in Canada and was hosted in the UK by Birkbeck College, University of London. At Birkbeck, I am now a Research Fellow on a 2-year AHRC-funded comparative research project into the LGBTQ histories of Brighton, Leeds, Manchester and Plymouth.
