Main Research Interests
-
My research focuses on the creation and dissemination of wartime community press papers. My specific interest is on a series of newspapers created by civilians sheltering in the London Underground during the Blitz and how these publications allowed them to share their experiences with an outside audience, create community, and act as conduit to improve sanitary conditions in the shelter.
