Research Interests
Thesis: 'Besmirching Britannica’s Good Name: The Reception of Colonial Military Scandals in Victorian Britain'
My research explores the relationship between Victorian Britain and her Empire through the lens of military scandal. The nineteenth-century Army was increasingly subject to national scrutiny as developments in transport and communication brought colonial events, and misdeeds, to the notice of the British public as never before.
