    Research Interests

    Research interests and expertise

    My doctoral thesis focused on the Mass Observation (MO) archive of photographs taken in 'Worktown' Bolton in the late 1930s as a way of questioning representations of everyday life. As such, it is an engagement with the fields of visual ethnography, cultural studies and material culture and constitutes an attempt to interrogate the way in which the 'Worktown' study engages in the cross and multi-disciplinary space.
