Senior Lecturer in American History, University of Lincoln

I am a Senior Lecturer in American History at the University of Lincoln. My research focuses on protest and dissent in the United States, with particular focus on peace activism, the women's movement, civil rights, and public memory. I am currently researching the phenomenon of protest suicide and self-immolation in modern American history.
