- About Me
I am a social and cultural historian of modern Britain and Europe, with particular expertise in the history of labour, gender and sexuality, imperialism and colonialism, and the digital humanities. I am about to finish my PhD in History at the University of Toronto.
My future research will explore the intimate histories of suicide in modern Britain.
I also have plenty of experience teaching undergraduates in history and really love exploring innovative, accessible pedagogies. Most recently, I TA’d a course on the history of social media and AI, where I got to chat with students about histories of capitalism, the emergence of modern computing, and TikTok algorithms. I have worked as a TA for nearly a dozen other undergraduate courses crossing thematic and geographic boundaries, too.
In the Fall of 2022, I designed and taught my first course on the history of gender and sexuality in Europe and its empires across the long nineteenth century. We talked a lot about women and work, the regulation of sex and sexuality, and the entangled histories of sex, race, science, and empire.
I hold an MPhil in Modern European History from the University of Cambridge, and a Bachelor of Arts in History and Political Science from McGill University.
