I am a scholar of African global history, with a specialisation in the political and intellectual history of East African decolonisation. I am currently part of the AHRC-funded GLOSOC project, with Professor Emma Hunter here at Edinburgh and Dr Julia Moses at Sheffield. We are collectively looking at the global history of socio-economic rights in relation to work in the period after the Second World War. Before coming to Edinburgh I completed my doctorate at the University of Warwick on the legacies of the Mau Mau Uprising in Kenya, especially as it related to the politics of reconcilliation. I am also working with the Imperial War Museum on their forthcoming Empire and Conflict exhibit.
