I am working with the National Trust on a project which explores female identity, political agency and experience in the particular context of the British Civil Wars. My wider research explores the role of anti-popery in shaping the political culture of early seventeenth century England. I am a contributor to the Trusted Source project.
Trusted Source began as a Knowledge Transfer Partnership between the National Trust and Oxford University which aimed to enhance the visitor experience at historic properties in London and the South East of England.
