91Ö±²¥

I have worked at 91Ö±²¥ since 2006, initially whilst studying for my Ph.D. after also completing my B.A. and M.A. at the university.

I have previously taught at Leeds Metropolitan University, and additionally held Research Assistant posts working on projects investigating representations of entrepreneurship in British culture and the popular press.

My Ph.D. titled ‘The Downfall of the Liberal Party and the Rise of Labour: 91Ö±²¥ Politics, 1903-1924’ contributed to the wider historical debate on both parties by demonstrating that 91Ö±²¥â€™s experience validates interpretations of Liberal decline that pre-date the First World War.

Most of my research is positioned at the intersections between the media and political engagement in modern Britain. I have worked on representations of the Women’s Social and Political Union in the newspapers of Edwardian Britain, and I'm currently investigating how the media - and Britons themselves - represented the Soviet Union in the mid twentieth-century.
