In the past two years, I also took up rowing. I row an 8 with an incredible local crew.
It was the first time in a long while that I tried something completely new. It’s been life changing, tbh, and I love to “row it out.”

I love taking long walks with my little sidekick, Giovanni Giorgio (H/T to Moroder).
Gio is a well-intentioned but incredibly mischievous 1.5 year old. It makes for extra work, but also…so much fun. I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m just finishing up a second book, Scents of Change: Experiencing Modern Britain, 1880-1920.
I draw links between accounts of smells, from sewage to lavender, and expressions of national identity. This includes how some used smells to stake claims to whiteness and ‘Englishness.’

My first book, The Business of Beauty, investigated how criticisms of beautification shaped the buying and selling of British beauty goods.
It showed that women and “foreign nationals” established the beauty industry we know today.

Hi everyone! I'm a historian of modern Britain who's finishing up a book on smell, modernity, and ideas about "Britishness" between 1880-1920.
I'm so excited to hear about all the wonderful things people are up to. As for me, I...ahem, *we* (barely) passed Family Manners 1.
