I completed my BA in Contemporary History at the University of Sussex in 2004, returning to complete my MA in 2007, specialising in the history of the British New Left. I began my doctoral research on memory and the long 1970s and the work of Mark Fisher at Sussex in 2017 and started teaching in 2018. I published a chapter on Mark Fisher and the future of Critical Theory in 'Critical Theory Today: On the Limits of an Intellectual Tradition, Palgrave MacMillan (2022) and am currently working on a book on Popular Modernism.
I have published articles and book reviews for LSE Review of Books, Everyday Analysis and New Socialist on Populism, lessons from the New Left and lessons for the Labour Party from 1945.
I have also guested on Trashfuture and Everyday Analysis podcasts discussing Thatcherism and the New Left and presented at conferences on Theory, Memory, Intellectual History and Popular Culture most recently speaking on Mark Fisher, Popular Modernism, Ordinariness, The Crisis of Higher Education and the post-Covid world at Historical Materialism 2024 and 2025.

Articles and chapters under review: 'The Long March Through and Its Limits' in Revolutionary History' (2027) and 'Feeling Bad with Mark Fisher: Despair as Class Consciounsess in Late Capitalism' (2028).
