Lecturer in British Social and Cultural History and Director of the Centre of Regional and Local History, University of Leicester I am a British Social and Cultural Historian whose work focuses on Wales and England during the long eighteenth-century (roughly 1680-1830). I specialise in the history of gender, crime, sexuality and the body, and I am particularly interested in non-elite lives and experiences. I have published on the history of illegitimacy, childbirth, and mortality, and I have given public lectures on crime and deviance in Wales. My book Deviant Maternity: Illegitimacy in Wales, c. 1680-1800 was published in 2020 by Routledge.
