I began an AHRC Collaborative Doctoral Award, entitled ‘Voices of the Cold War in 1950s Britain’, in October 2014. As a partnership between IWM and the University of Strathclyde, my research investigates the experiences of the Cold War by ordinary British people in the 1950s through oral history testimony. In doing so, it will give voice to routine engagement with predominant Cold War themes. The research will interrogate how Britons felt towards the Cold War in their everyday lives. I am particularly interested in experiences of how emotion impacts on individual and collective political engagement. Previously I studied a master’s in International History at London School of Economics and BA in History at the University of Sussex. Having worked in education and museums I am fascinated by life story collections beyond academia, in community and public engagement; as a result I also sit on a Board of Trustees for a London-based oral history charity called Eastside Community Heritage.
