My background is in Anthropology and History (BA) and Contemporary History and Politics (MA). My current research focuses on alternative forms of historical work of knowledge production taking place in Queer history groups across Brighton and London. Outside of my research I work as an educator in schools, community projects and museums. I like good music, bad TV and working on mycelial Zine 'Mush-Rooms'.
