About
I have two main research interests relating to the history of exclusion in early/modern Europe. Firstly, I am concerned with the way the parameters of the political 'mainstream' are shaped and defined and the ideology of the politically excluded.My PhD examines the relationship between the corporate identity of exiled convents, Catholic patronage and political thought, and government perception and policy. It explores changing attitudes to female monasticism in Britain and the extent of interaction between exiled communties and the British State. I have additional interests in the image and ideology of the exiled Stuart court and the history of minority political opposition groups.
My second research interest focuses on behavioural exclusions, or the way appropriate behaviour is defined and controlled. I am currently researching attitudes to suicide in eighteenth-century England and have a long-term interest in changing manifestations of revenge.
Education:
I took my first degree at the University of St. Andrews where i graduated with a thesis on the 'Emergence of British Trotskyism'. Following graduate study at UCL i was offered an AHRC studentship to undertake doctoral research at QMUL in 2010.
