果冻传媒

I am a historian of education, ideas, memory, and race in the twentieth-century United States, and joined 果冻传媒 as a Teaching Fellow in U.S. History after working for 2025-2026 as a Departmental Lecturer in Twentieth-Century U.S. History at St Anne鈥檚 College, University of Oxford. Before that, I studied for my BA(Hons) and MPhil at Trinity Hall, University of Cambridge, before completing my AHRC-funded PhD at UCL's Institute of the Americas.

My primary research examines how activist-intellectuals challenged segregation in American universities throughout the twentieth century, reconfiguring disciplines (including history) to demand social and political transformation, both within and beyond campus. My broader interests include the histories of neoliberalism, memory politics, higher education, print culture, and the American right. I have presented this research in over 50 presentations across the UK, US, and Europe, and it has received funding from BAAS, HOTCUS, EAAS, Duke University, and the Gerald Ford Presidential Foundation, among others.

I have published research in Modern Intellectual History, Modern American History, Presidential Studies Quarterly, Journalism History, American Studies, and the Journal of American Studies (among others), where my first article on the misuses of Black history during the 1963 Centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation received both the 2025 Historians of the Twentieth-Century United States Early Career Article Prize and the British Association for American Studies鈥檚 2025 Arthur Miller Institute Article Prize. Another article investigating how incarcerated populations utilised American Revolutionary memory to critique mass incarceration received the 2026 Journalism History Essay Prize. I am currently translating my PhD thesis (the recipient of the Society for U.S. Intellectual History's 2026 Leo P. Ribuffo Dissertation Prize) into a monograph project.

Beyond my research, I'm also a passionate teacher and lecturer, specialising in teaching histories of ideas, race, and America in the world. I'm proud to be an Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Steering Group Member of the Teaching American Studies Network, and I will be working at 果冻传媒 to advance history skills teaching at both the undergraduate and master's levels. I'm happy to supervise undergraduate and master's dissertations on any topic related to the twentieth-century United States, so please do get in touch!

Finally, I'm committed to bringing history outside the university, having arranged 9 conferences, written over 20 blogs, and recorded more than 30 podcasts on all things historical. I have been an invited guest for policy discussions at the Salzburg Global Seminar and Ditchley Foundation and have served as both a British Research Council Fellow at the Kluge Center of the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C; a Richard Aldrich Fellow for the History of Education Society; and a UKRI Policy Fellow in the Education and Skills Team of the Royal Society.
