Research interests
- My research explores the impact of transnational connections between women in the international anti-apartheid movement, with a particular emphasis on women in the Swedish Social Democratic party and women in the ANC. I'm interested in uncovering the historical impact of informal transnational relationships in national and international settings, and ideas about gender and equality within the organisations and the movement that surrounded them.
- I'm also interested in the history of international socialism, social democracy and socialist politicians, women's and feminist movements, international cooperation and activism.
- I'm a co-convenor of Birkbeck’s research student seminar series in 2013, a research student representative, and editor of http://birkbeckhistoryphd.org
