Personal profile
Biography
I am a PhD researcher and Graduate Teaching Assistant at Edge Hill University, having previously completed my BA in History and MA in Nineteenth Century Studies. My PhD uses an interdisciplinary approach to explore ‘Friendship at a Distance’ between1880-1920. I am researching how newspaper readers and the earliest cohorts of Edge Hill students used technologies available to them, such the printing presses, railway networks, and postal services, to build and maintain networks of friendship and community despite national and, in some cases, international distances between them.
