Biography
I joined the University of Portsmouth in 2016, having previously taught on the MA History of Family programme at the University of Limerick. My research interests focus on family, gender, emotions, and the life cycle in early modern England. My current project considers the experiences of blended families in sixteenth century English society. I am a committee member of the Children's History Society and a co-convener of the IHR Life cycles seminar.
