Current Research

My current research interests are in landscape and landed society in the eighteenth century; histories and legacies of enslavement and colonialism in rural Britain; environmental governance; sustainable agriculture.

I am currently Director of the University of Nottingham's Institute for the Study of Slavery and further details about my AHRC-funded research on rural enslavement histories and legacies can be found at: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/isos/research/rural-legacies.aspx

Details of a recent related AHRC research project on 'Global Cotton Connections: East Meets West in the Derbyshire Peak District' can be found at: http://gobalcottonconnections.wordpress.com/

I have also recently undertaken research on 'Food provisioning research agendas in the UK' as part of the Making Science Public programme funded by The Leverhulme Trust. Further details on the programme and the project can be found at: http://www.nottingham.ac.uk/sociology/research/projects/making-science-public/research-projects.aspx

I am keen to supervise research on the following topics:

• historical geographies of enslavement and colonialism associated with the British countryside
• cultural geographies of landscape parks
• rural heritage sites and legacies of enslavement and colonialism
• collective environmental governance
• rural environmental knowledges
