Research Interests
I am a lecturer in contemporary British history and joined Queen's in Jan 2015 having previously been at the University of Birmingham and the Open University. My research interests include race, immigration, the New Left, cultural studies, urban history, prostitution and photography. I have published in Social History, History Workshop Journal and Patterns of Prejudice. I am the co-editor of Cultural Studies 50 Years On (2016) and my first monograph - Black Handsworth: race in 1980s Britain - was published by the University of California Press in 2019. My work has regularly been supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council, while in 2019-2020 I was the recipipient of a Fulbright award that allowed me to conduct research in the USA.
