I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow on Professor Hilary Marland鈥檚 project 鈥�The Last Taboo of Motherhood?: Postnatal Mental Disorders in Twentieth-Century Britain鈥�, funded by a Wellcome Trust Investigator Award.

My project strand explores the theme 鈥楽ufferers and their Publics: Experiencing and Narrating Postnatal Mental Illness鈥�. I address the ways in which mothers (and more recently partners, including fathers) described their own experiences of mental illness, and how the 'public' responded. I draw on a wide range of books (letters, memoirs and autobiographies), magazines and newspaper articles, audio-visual sources (from radio to television and film) and oral history interviews.

My first monograph explores The Rise and Fall of the Sunbed in Britain: Tanning Culture from Fad to Fear (Bloomsbury, 2025). For more information about my PhD project on the history of tanning culture, click here.

The Wellcome Trust have kindly funded both my postgraduate and postdoctoral research.
