I am Reader in History at the University of Hertfordshire. I research:

- popular protest and social movements

- digital mapping with GIS

- local and regional identities and landscapes

- 18th and 19th century British history

- mid-20th century modernist architecture and urban planning.

My latest book, Protest and the Politics of Space and Place, 1789-1848, is now out in paperback: http://www.manchesteruniversitypress.co.uk/9781526116703/
