Excited to share I’m starting my new job as a Research Associate on the ‘Inclusive Histories’ project @RoyalHolloway. I’ll be working closely with @BishopsgateInst & The London Archives to uncover new and diverse sources on c.19th radical protest and reform for schools.

It was great to attend #ahtv2023 yesterday! Lovely to see friends from the #tvPhD scheme & @EdinburghTVFest and to hear about the interesting work and links between academia and tv. @ahrcpress
Squeezed in a quick exhibition on my trip to London. Nice to seeing some interesting petitions and interpretations at @MuseumofLondon#executions exhibition. #phdchat
