Research

My current research looks at health in a transnational perspective, with a focus on Europe and the Middle East. These interests developed out of my comparative study of maternity and infant care in England and Israel: 'Jewish mothers and Jewish babies: Childbearing and childrearing amongst Jewish women in England and Israel'

Previously I looked at the politics, provision and experience of pre-school childcare in Britain during the years 1939-2010: 'Pre-school Childcare, 1939-1979'

My wider research has focused on motherhood in post-war Britain: 'Motherhood in Britain, c.1945-2000'
