Biography

Job title:

Lecturer

Biography:

My recent research has focused upon nineteenth and twentieth century mental health care and patient welfare in England. My work examines the role of the community, families and patients with regards to accessing care and treatment. My PhD examined attempts to reform asylum treatment and to try to eradicate the stigma attached to mental health care. This work has contributed to a programme of public engagement and co-production. I have co-curated several exhibitions on the medical impact of war and shell shock to coincide with the Centenary of the First World War, at the Thackray Medical Museum in Leeds, the York Army Museum and also in connection with the medical museums in Worcestershire

Qualifications:

I completed my AHRC-funded PhD at the University of Huddersfield in 2015, having previously studied there for my PGCE in Lifelong Learning and my BA Hons in English Literature and History.
