Current research
Black Heritage and the Railways
Funded by the Centre for the South, Dr Gillian Kennedy (Politics) and I are working on a project which looks at Black history in Hampshire. We are particularly interested in the way in which the railway network connects to this history, given that usually more attention is given to maritime connections and port cities.
The Swing Riots
Agricultural riots swept across the South of England in 1830. They have become known as the Swing Riots. I am involved in a public history project which aims to bring this history to a wider audience, in the run up to the bicentennary year.
The history of the Darien Scheme
This was a failed colonisation project intended to create a Scottish settlement in the Darien region.
