My research has included detailed analysis of soldier narratives in the post-1945 era and the history of military subjectivity. My current research explores the British Army in Germany after the Second World War, with a particular focus on military family life.

I would like to collaborate with individuals interested in post-conflict situations, oral history/qualitative interviews, life-narratives, critical military studies and/or families and conflict, from any discipline or sector.
