📚New book!!! So happy to share that ‘Why Historic Places Matter Emotionally’ has just been published by Cambridge University Press.
Outlines a conceptual framework for ‘emotion’ comprised of responses, attachments, and communities built from evidence from places across England and Scotland.

I’m delighted to say that my 1st article on healthcare in West Africa has been published today in Historia Hospitalium. Thanks to Axel von Huntelmann & Fritz Dross for inviting me to take part in the SI. Afraid it isn’t OA but let me know if you’d like a copy
