PhD Title
Collective Relationships & the Emotion Culture of Radical Feminism in Britain, 1983-1991
Research Interests
My interests centre on emotions and culture. My doctoral research explores emotions in radical feminism in 1980s Britain through British radical feminist magazine Trouble and Strife, and I am particularly interested in the interdisciplinary dialogue between sociology and cultural studies around the cultural politics of emotion and affect. I specialise in qualitative textual research methods, particularly involving archival documents of life.
