About
I have a diverse and rich background in both academia and heritage research, blending scholarly pursuits with community engagement and public history projects.
I joined Richmond, RIASA in 2010 having previously lectured at The University of Huddersfield (Department of Music, Media and History) and Leeds Beckett University (Department of Languages and Cultures).
Since 2017 I have also worked as a Research Associate for a heritage research project conducted by English Heritage and Research Assistant on the National Museum Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine joint project.
I have also been a recipient of several grants and fellowships, most recently: Royal Holloway London, Northwestern University-European Institute of the Holocaust and Jewish Studies Fellowship, European Holocaust Research Infrastructure Grant.
I am a co-chair of the Richmond Gender in Sports Research Centre.
Research interests
I currently engage in research within two distinct areas of social and cultural history: the study of female fans and spectators of women’s football, and the history of Jews in Britain and Eastern Europe, with a particular focus on the visual history of the Holocaust.
