History PhD Research Student, KCL
Historian of the Early Modern Atlantic World
I am a historian of race and power in the Early Modern Atlantic World. I am an AHRC-funded History PhD researcher at King's College, London. My project is a social history of London between 1655 and 1730. It seeks to understand how social relations within the city changed in the wake of Atlantic racial slavery. The project is titled “Reckoning with Race in Early Modern London, 1655-1730” and supervised by Prof. Laura Gowing and Prof. Miles Ogborn.
