Bio from CCCU website:
I am a historian of poverty and homelessness in England, and currently the Course Director of the History Subject Suite. My teaching focuses on the broad social and cultural contours of early modern Europe, on Atlantic colonialism, and on social problems in England c.1600-1800. My research looks at vagrancy and poverty in early modern England, and in the British Atlantic world. I am presently in the early stages of a new book project: tentatively called 'The Ends of Poverty, c. 1600-1800' and intend to cover material ranging from utopian imaginings to colonial displacement, and architectural and environmental design.
