I am a historian and philosopher of anthropology and geography. More generally, I am interested in visual and material anthropology, historical geographies and concepts of space and time and their relations, histories and philosophies of science (including of optical instruments, image-making and image projection devices), and intellectual histories. My research focuses on transnational, trans-disciplinary and trans-institutional knowledge-making communities connected to geography, anthropology and natural sciences, and science professionalization and popularization in the nineteenth century and early twentieth century.
My first degree was in archaeology and anthropology. Currently. I am a Lecturer in Human Geography at Oxford Brookes University (where I have also taught anthropology courses). Additionally, I am a member of the Archives and Collections committee, and Honorary Obituaries Editor, of the Royal Anthropological Institute; a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers); and a member of the British Society for the History of Science. My publications have appeared in Early Popular Visual Culture, the Journal of Historical Geography, Transactions of the Institute of British Geography, Geography Compass, the British Journal of the History of Science, Centaurus (European History of Science Society journal), and my first monograph is forthcoming with Berghahn Books.
