Andy Clark

Dr. Andy Clark is a Lecturer in Scottish History at the University of Stirling. He joined the institution in 2024 after a diverse academic journey across geography and disciplines. His work is anchored in oral history, with a focus on deindustrialisation, trade union history, and late-life experiences shaped by industrial decline.

• BSc in History from University of Strathclyde
• MA from Central Michigan University
• PhD from University of Strathclyde under Professor Arthur McIvor

Clark's research bridges themes such as responses of female workers to industrial closures, memory studies, and the experiences of first responders to the 1988 Lockerbie Pan Am 103 Disaster. He has led cross-disciplinary projects and is currently finalising publications from large-scale studies on deindustrialisation legacies.

Previously, he worked in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Stirling on a government-funded project about organised crime in Scotland and served as a postdoctoral researcher in Oral History at Newcastle University's Oral History Collective.
