My research interests are the history of work, including masculinity and management in the workplace, as well as the history of health and illness at work and in society more generally. These research interests include the social and cultural history of insanity, health and illness in the dusty occupations, and the gender differences in the identification and treatment of ill health. Secondary research interests include the growth of white collar employment and trade unionism, including its impact on Labour politics during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
