Biography
With a background in Politics and Sociology, I have always had an interest in the topics of feminism and social change. My PhD research explores architecture in the 1980s, looking at the impact of feminist municipalism. The project uses a case study of Manchester City Council, researched through oral history interviewing and archival sources.
Outside of my PhD, I am a research assistant for a feasibility project for the School of Health and Society. The project is investigating the access of healthcare records for Looked After Children for research purposes.
Seminar lead for History and Theory of Architecture, 1st year and 2nd year undergraduates.
