I am a historian of modern Europe with a particular interest in German, French and British history between 1850 and 1950. I received my PhD from Northumbria University in 2015, where I worked on a comparative study of emergency laws in Britain and Germany during the First World War. Between 2014 and 2016, I was a Lecturer in Modern History at Durham University before joining the University of Sunderland in September 2016. Since February 2019, I am a Senior Lecturer in Modern History at LJMU.

I have published on a wide range of topics relating to British and German history, including the history of trade unionism in Britain, the origins of civil liberties activism, media and history, and memory cultures of the First World War. I am currently preparing the publication of my first monograph, entitled The Politics of Endurance: Emergency Government and the Home Fronts in Britain and Germany during the First World War. My new research project engages with the emergence of transnational civil liberties and human rights movements in the interwar period. I addition to these projects, I contributed to a number of local projects that engaged with the impact of the First World War.

I have a strong interest in the question how the relationship between state and citizens was shaped by conflict and war in the 19th and 20th centuries. This covers the emergence of the modern state in Europe but also the rise of activist movements in response to these developments. I would be happy to supervise research students who want to work on the political, social and cultural impact of the world wars on European societies. I would also be happy to supervise research projects engaging with the history of social and political movements, particularly within the field of civil liberties and human rights.

I also welcome proposals by students wanting to work on any aspect of modern German history after 1800.
