Teaching
I am happy to hear from prospective PhD students interested in oral history, memory studies, temporality, contemporary Irish or British history and the history of the Troubles.
In 2025-26 I will convene a third year/fourth year undergraduate module, 'Activism, Everyday Life and the Troubles.' In 2026-27 my new co-created special subject, 'Teenage Kicks: Youth culture and protest in Britain post-1945' will run for the first time.
