I am a European cultural historian, focused in particular on the history of gender and consumer cultures in Modern Britain and its Empire. I am especially interested in the ways in which particular commodities and shopping spaces are integral to the construction of identities in the 19th and 20th centuries. My recent work seeks to reposition the British Empire within a broader global framework. I enjoy teaching comparative histories of gender, consumerism, urban history, Empires and globalization.
