About
I am engaged in researching the role of patents in medical technologies in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The project is collaborative with the Thackray Medical Museum, and involves a substantial proportion of outreach activity. I also lecture on the course "Darwin, Germs & The Bomb" and will be tutoring on the third year module "History of the Body II" during the academic year 2011-12.
My doctoral project examined "woolsorters' disease" (a disease which I classify as a form of "proto-anthrax") - an industrial illness particularly prevalent in Bradford and the surrounding West Riding of Yorkshire in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. I located the condition within local, national and global cultural contexts, employing a social constructivist framework of disease.
