- About Me
I have completed my PhD on Anxious Expressions: Remote Relationships in the Canning Family Correspondence, 1760-1830. This looks at anxiety in the long eighteenth century and what it can tell us about its relationship with love, grief and anger and what it can tell us about anxiety today. This is especially in relation to well-being, health, identity and communications My expertise is in social, cultural, political and gender history, especially looking at emotions, families, relationships, lifecycle, letter writing and rhetoric. I am also working on teaching history pedagogy using emotions and I co-run a module on consumption history looking at the complexities of the past to understand the present climate change emergency through consumption to think about changing the future.
