Centre for the Study of Modern and Contemporary HistoryBiography
After reading history at Newnham College, Cambridge, I worked at the BBC and in the voluntary sector for a number of years before returning to higher education. After gaining a doctorate at the University of Edinburgh, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for the Study of the Two World Wars (now the Centre for the Study of Modern Conflict). Following research positions at Edinburgh Napier and Strathclyde universities, I was appointed to a British History lectureship at the University of Edinburgh in 2010. My Ph.D. was awarded the Ratcliff Prize and, in 2012, my first monograph, Experiencing War as the 'Enemy Other', was awarded the Royal Historical Society's Gladstone Prize. In 2016, I was promoted to Senior Lecturer.
