Interests
My main interest is in internment archaeology and issues around women and poverty in the 19th centuryBio
My Undergraduate dissertation focused on researching workhouses in York and Docking and the impact that the poor law had on single mothers and orphans. I am now studying the MA in Historical Archaeology and my focus this year is in the village of New Earswick and its first inhabitants connected with the Rowntrees factory and also in settlements of the poor in post medieval Britain.
