Teaching and Research Interests

I teach and research in the field of modern European history, with a focus on Italy and Spain from the late-ninteenth- to the mid-twentieth century. My research interests include everyday life and the 'lived experience' of fascism as well as how ideas and images of modernity and of the past, present and future have helped shape national identities and notions of the self in the late nineteenth century. More broadly, I am interested in the history of every-day life and the 'lived experience' of dictatorship and in questions of cultural production and reception locally, nationally and trans-nationally.
