About

I’m a young historian, curator and writer with an unusual and varied background. ‘Public history’ is the mainstay of my work: engaging storytelling that accessibly conveys a fascination with the past to an audience of the present. As a history populariser, I have delivered numerous lectures, conducted interviews, held panel discussions, given public tours, and worked on films produced within the V&A and BBC.
