Research Topic
'The Palestinian Question and the decolonisation of French Algeria: Transnational solidarity movements, 1962-1982'
My doctoral research examines transnational solidarity movements with the Palestinian cause in the wake of French and Algerian decolonisation. I am particularly interested in how Palestinian displacement and dispossession shaped critique of settler colonialism; historical memory of Jewish-Muslim coexistence; concepts of indigeneity and belonging; gender and affect in anticolonial politics; cultural decolonisation in the era of 'Third World' internationalism.
I was educated at a comprehensive school in South Wales before studying history at the University of Leeds. I taught history at a secondary school before being awarded a Clarendon Scholarship to complete a Masters in Global and Imperial History at Oxford. My current project is supported by the Arts and Humanities Research Council's doctoral training programme.
