My research interests span histories of sexuality, emotions, and relationships, particularly in nineteenth and early twentieth century European contexts. I’m currently focusing on Weimar sexuality and personal identity formation, with a side interest in how current debates weaponize the idea of historically consistent sex-based desire under recent attack from "gender ideology.”

I graduated with a first class honours History and Archaeology BA from the University of Edinburgh and University of Malta, receiving the Magdalena Midgley Prize and C.S. Pennel Prize for Best Performance. My undergraduate dissertation “She Tries to Make a Whole Woman Out of Me”: Trans* Sexuality and Women’s Relationships in the Weimar Queer Press was awarded the national German History Society Undergraduate Essay Prize 2023. Before joining the Global History MA I spent a year working in digitisation at the University of Leeds Archives and Special Collections.
