Bakgrunn og aktiviteter
I am an Associate Professor of British Social and Cultural Studies in the Department of Language and Literature. I grew up in Stockton-on-Tees in the North East of England and I completed most of my education in the United Kingdom. I hold both a BA and MA in History from the University of Hull and a PhD in History from the University of Cambridge. I contribute to the Cultural History component of the English degree programmes at NTNU. I have taught various undergraduate courses on different aspects of modern British history since 2011 and I now teach the MA course, ENG3450 History, Society, and Culture, on Britain in the 1980s, from an interdisciplinary perspective. I am interested in supervising MA theses on most aspects of modern British political, social, and cultural history. I am also a convener of the Modern History Seminar, which is open to researchers from all departments in the Faculty of Humanities.
