- About Me
I’m a historian based at the University of Leeds, focusing on women’s experiences of volunteering on the Home Front in Second World War Britain. I can speak on a variety of historical themes, including war and gender, women’s experiences, volunteering, propaganda in wartime and in modern Britain, the heritage industry, especially with regards to place and urban history. I am happy to be contacted about any enquiries relating to the broad themes of women in wartime and public/popular history.
In 2017 I launched the award-winning Hull Blitz Trail, a public history project which has been enjoyed by more than 14,000 users. I have worked with a range of partners in the past, including Hull City of Culture 2017, English Heritage, BBC, Leeds Museums and Galleries, and local media outlets.
