Faculty Member, History
Assistant Professor
About
My research interests lie predominantly in modern French history. They focus on the environmental and cultural history of war and animal history. My doctoral research tackled the environmental history of Vichy France and outlined the material and cultural importance of nature during the ‘dark years’ and their aftermath. This led to postdoctoral work on French and transnational militarized landscapes. My current project ‘ Canine City: Dogs, Humans, and the Making of Modern Paris’ will explore the role and presence of dogs in the city’s past as workers, pets, pests, and beyond. It furthers my interests in nonhuman agency and “more-than-human” histories and is supported by the British Academy . I also explore animal (specifically canine) history on my blog Sniffing the Past- http://sniffingthepast.wordpress.com/
