Research

I am a first year PhD student studying jointly at the University of Warwick and Monash University. My thesis, 'The Materialisation of Ideas in the Suburbs of Nineteenth and Early-Twentieth Century Liverpool, UK, and Melbourne, Australia', is supervised by Pierre Purseigle (University of Warwick), Lionel Frost, and Kate Murphy (Monash University) and is funded by the Monash-Warwick Alliance Joint PhD Scholarship.

My thesis explores how the 'Victorian suburban ideal' manifested itself in the urban and social environments of nineteenth and early-twentieth century Liverpool and Melbourne. More broadly, it considers how popular ideas and discourses (social, religious, and political) manifest themselves in tangible ways in cities.
