Biography

About me

I am a historian of nineteenth-century Britain, with an especial interest in political language, behaviour and culture in the age of ‘mass democracy’. 

My Leverhulme-funded project, Meeting the challenge of mass politics in Britain: the Liberal caucus, 1875-1914 explores whether British politics became less participatory as it became more democratic. I am also working on my first monograph, entitled The Liberal Party in Scotland 1800-1900: Political Culture and National Identity in an Age of Crisis, to be published by Edinburgh University Press. 

I am the Modern (post-1707) Editor at the Scottish Historical Review

I am organising a conference on Histories of Scottish Politics in the Age of Union, c.1700-1945 in July 2024. 

I completed my PhD at King's College London in 2019, where I also taught on modern British History. In 2020, I won a King's Doctoral Studies prize for Outstanding Doctoral Thesis. Prior to joining Durham, I was College Lecturer in History at Hertford College, University of Oxford, between 2017 and 2021, and Retained Lecturer in History at Exeter College, Oxford, between 2020 and 2021. I taught on modern British and European history, historical methods, and historiography.
