Biography
I am an intellectual and cultural historian of modern Europe, Central Europe in particular, with an emphasis on interwar political and cultural thought. My main interest is how conceptions of time, space, modern media and modernity intersect during the early to mid-20th-century.
Before coming to Nottingham, I was a graduate student at the University of St Andrews where I obtained an MLitt in Intellectual History and began, subsequently, a PhD in Modern History at the same university with an AHRC DTP-fellowship. I completed my PhD at the University of St Andrews in January 2022 and began teaching at the University of Nottingham in February the same year.
From September 2020 to August 2021, I participated in the ERC-funded research project, 'Between the Times: Embattled Temporalities and Political Imagination in Interwar Europe' as a visiting research student and assistant.
