About
I have recently been appointed to a lectureship in History at Liverpool John Moores University, where I will teach modules on nineteenth-century popular culture (with Dr. Mike Benbough-Jackson) and a yearlong survey course on modern British gender history. Prior to joining LJMU, I held temporary lectureships at the University of Manchester, Queen’s University Belfast and Swansea University.
I am currently in the process of converting my PhD research on the university settlement houses Toynbee Hall and Oxford House into a series of articles. My research on the Whitechapel Art Exhibitions was recently published by Journal of Victorian Culture. A book chapter on the use of St Francis of Assisi as a male exemplar by settlers was published in John Arnold and Sean Brady’s, What is Masculinity (London, 2011).
I am in the initial stages of a new project on English and Welsh vicarages in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. For this project I am interested in exploring how the vicarage was used as an extra-parochial space. The vicarage was designed to be the centre of village life. It was (and continues to be) emblematic of a certain vision of ‘Englishness’. I am therefore keen to consider how the Anglican vicarage was understood and experienced in Wales. By expanding on the work of Deborah Cohen, Jane Hamlett and Amanda Vickery, I will also consider how these were ‘lived’ spaces and how the extra-parochial dimensions of the vicarage might have impacted on the intimacies and spaces of home.
I am an assistant online editor for Journal of Victorian Culture online (www.victorianculture). From 2008-2011 co-authored the nineteenth-century sections of the Annual Bulletin of Historical Literature, formerly with Dr. Julie-Marie Strange and Dr. Vicky Morrisroe and Dr Bob Nicholson.
With Dr. Tim Jones (University of Glamorgan) I am currently organising a conference entitled ‘Material Religion in Modern Britain and her Worlds’. This two-day symposium will explore material cultures of religious belief and faith in modern Britain.
