Biography

I am a transatlantic military historian, specialising in eighteenth-century British imperialism and Jacobitism. I completed my AHRC funded PhD ‘The Cultural Paradigms of British Imperialism in the Militarisation of Scotland and North America, c.1745-1775’ with the University of Stirling in 2019. Having focused on Scottish History, primarily Jacobitism, for my BA(Hons) and MSc at the University of Strathclyde, my doctoral research took a transatlantic approach to warfare and pacification, examining how militarisation affected attitudes towards Scottish Highlanders, Indigenous peoples, and colonial settlers. I joined the Centre for History as a teaching assistant in September 2018 and as a lecturer in November 2019, having previously taught at the University of Stirling and for the University of Dundee/Open University.
