I was first introduced to Life History when working as a Research Assistant to Dr Glenn Jordan on his project Mothers and Daughters: Portraits from Multi-Ethnic Wales (2007-08) that was based at the (now sadly defunct) Butetown History & Arts Centre, Cardiff. As Research Fellow for the Business of Women’s Words: Purpose and Profit in Feminist Publishing (2018-21) I conducted interviews with feminist publishers and book trade professionals that are deposited in the prestigious National Life Stories collection. I am currently working on a new article that dives into the cultural pre-history of Kate Bush. My article ‘Playing with time: Kate Bush's temporal strategies and resistant time consciousness’ was published in Popular Music in 2016. In 2019 I gave the opening keynote at This Woman’s Work, the first ever academic conference dedicated to Bush’s work.

In 2017 I was co-investigator on the project Re-Imagining the Feminist Archive South, funded by the Brigstow Institute, which explored speculative pedagogical approaches to digital literacy and the archive.

I am also Visiting Research Fellow and management board member of the Centre for Book Cultures and Publishing at the University of Reading. My current research focuses on publishing in the post-war period, in particular the businesses of ‘populist’ publisher Paul Hamlyn.
