Leverhulme Early Career Fellow
About
I am a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow at the Faculty of History (2010-2012) and a Research Fellow at Wolfson College.
My doctoral research at the University of Warwick, supervised by Prof. Steve Hindle, focused on economic culture and social ideals in later Stuart England. This will be published as: God, Duty and Community in English Economic Culture, 1660-1720 (Boydell & Brewer, 2012).
For my postdoctoral work, I am examining popular reactions to the economic problems of the 1690s in England, focusing on the food scarcities and trade depressions of that decade. This project will illuminate the divergent responses of paupers, the labouring poor, preachers, pamphleteers, local officials, and the central government.
Previously, I held a post-doctoral research fellowship at the Borthwick Institute, University of York (2009-10). It allowed me to undertake an intensive historical study of local communities in the Vale of York, and to examine early modern manor courts as a site of communal regulation in Yorkshire and elsewhere.
I have a continuing interest in many aspects of early modern society, including:
- ballads, chapbooks and other cheap print
- sermons and popular religious culture
- local goverance and regulation by towns, parishes, manors, etc.
- craft guilds and other occupational organisations
- petitions
- protest and rebellion
