Research Interests
To date, my research has focused on the British slave trade, slavery, and abolition.
I'm currently undertaking a research project with Dr Hannah Whittaker on the legacies of Empire in Britain, which explores the rise of anti-Fallism and the grassroots counter-campaigns that oppose the removal and toppling of imperial and slaver statues and monuments.
