Biography

I am a cultural historian specialising in 20th-century France. My main research interests are in the history of the First World War, visual culture studies, disability studies and the history of the voluntary sector.

After I completed my PhD on the destinies and representations of WWI facially disfigured soldiers (University of Exeter), I worked on the EU INTERREG-funded project 1914FACES2014 (2013-2015), which looked at the legacies of First World War facially disfigured soldiers and plastic surgery.

The study of visible facial differences, their representations and impact on the person and the onlooker, remains a central aspect in my research. I am also working on the evolution of late 19th - 20th century philanthropy in France and Great Britain.
