Biography

Currenly undertaking PhD research for my thesis on 'Material culture and official narratives: An examination of the Palestaine Campaign of the First World War.' My supervisors are Dr Stephen Mills and Prof. Paul Nicholson. This research focuses on exploring the experiences of ordinary soldiers in the campaign, rather than the narrative created or controlled by officialdom. 

I contribute to the 'Views of an Antique Land: Imaging Egypt and Palestine in the First World War' project run at Cardiff University, and funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund. The goal of the project is to create a resource to explore the visual history of the region during the First World War by collecting images taken by soldiers, British residents, and Egyptian families.
