    Research overview

    I am a social and cultural historian of gender and religion in nineteenth and twentieth-century Britain. My research examines how religious identities were formed, understood and lived during times of social change. It highlights wider themes of religious and social identities; transnational religious life; intentional communities; Catholic internationalism; philanthropy and voluntary action; medicalised and sacred spaces; medical missions and the lived history of the Second Vatican Council. 

    My current research has two strands.  The first examines religious life in inner city ministries after 1970. The second interrogates the decline of the lay sisters’ state of religious life, 1880s-1960.

    I welcome proposals for PhD dissertations on aspects of the social and cultural history of nineteenth and twentieth-century Britain and Ireland with themes that reflect an interest in gender and religion (especially Catholicism, Anglo-Catholicism and religious life) as it intersects with internationalism, philanthropy/voluntary action, medical care and long 1960s social movements associated with the Second Vatican Council.
