My dissertation traces the politics of children's education in the interwar and postwar period, and the intersections of transformations in metropolitan and colonial education in Britain on the eve of decolonisation. I also have an article project currently under review which examines British refugee policy, humanitarianism and settler-colonial child rescue in the 1930s and 40s.ResearchPublicationsNone as yet (first article currently under review, entitled “Rescue and resettlement: emigrating Jewish child refugees in the late British empire, c.1938-1948.”)ExpertiseModern British history (19-20c); British imperial history; history of childhood; history of education; history of liberalism, citizenship and the state; history of forced migration and refugees; history of the social sciences
