Matilda Hatcher

I am a current PhD candidate at the ANU, specialising in the history of masculinity in the British Royal Navy. Last year I completed an Honours Thesis focussing on masculinity and representations of disabled sailors, which was well received and awarded the ANU University Medal. My current project involves looking at masculine emotion and war experience in the Royal Navy during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. I will be presenting on this topic at a conference on the history of emotions later this year.
