Research Interests
I directed History & Policy between 2013 and 2015, and have worked extensively in creating opportunities in government for historical research to be brought to bear on contemporary policy problems. My current research on the history of child sexual abuse fed into the Lampard Inquiry, and continues to inform policy making in this field.
