Dr Timothy Cooper
Biography
Educated at Camborne School and Community College in Cornwall (1990-1997), I read for a BA in Modern History at St Edmund Hall, Oxford (1997-2000), and a Master of Studies at Wolfson College, Oxford (2000-2001). My doctoral research was undertaken at St John's College, Cambridge (2001-2005), where I investigated the impact of late-Victorian suburbanization on the contestation of place in the language of metropolitan Radicalism. My Ph.D thesis was entitled 'The politics of Radicalism in suburban Walthamstow, 1870-1914'.
After completion of my doctoral studies I was appointed Research Fellow at the AHRC Research Centre for Environmental History at the University of St Andrews (2004-2006, http://www.st-andrews.ac.uk/envhist/ahrc.html). Since then my work has increasingly focused on environmental history and politics. I was appointed lecturer in history at the University of Exeter's Cornwall Campus in 2007.
