I am a PhD student in the History Department at Lancaster University. My PhD research looks at the place of Chris Morris’ work in the canon of British satire. I am focusing particularly on his television and radio programmes in the 1990s, his network of collaborators, and the contexts that surrounded them.

​

My MA dissertation focused on nostalgia for communism in the former German Democratic Republic, explored through material culture, place and film. Outside of academia, I have written for EPOCH on Brett Easton Ellis’ use of the physical geography of Manhattan in American Psycho, and attitudes to crime and punishment in ‘90s Britain.

​

I would welcome any modern history submissions, but I am particularly interested in politics and culture, literature, language and humour, in Britain and beyond.
