- Honorary Research Fellow, The University of Western Australia
My PhD intersected twentieth century British history/ Australian history and the History of Emotions, a field that employs emotions as a category of analysis much like race, class and gender have been employed in the past. Historians of emotion historicise feeling, and believe it to be socially and culturally constructed.
I have taught the History of Feeling to UWA honours students, and Clash of Empires 13th to 16th century.
