Aleena Din is an Honorary Research Associate in the Department of History (Historical Studies) at the University of Bristol and a Research Associate at the University of Oxford, specializing in interdisciplinary historical research on gender, class, and race in modern Britain.
Her educational background includes an MA, MPhil, and PhD from the University of Oxford, where she completed her 2022 doctoral thesis analyzing the migration, settlement, and labor experiences of working-class British-Pakistani women in Middlesbrough and Oldham between 1962 and 2002.
Dr. Din's research integrates oral history methodology with investigations into women's paid and unpaid work, community dynamics, family life, and generational shifts within British-Pakistani communities. Her work critically examines intersections of gender, class, and racial identity in post-war British migration narratives.
She currently serves as a postdoctoral research associate for the 'Remaking Britain: South Asian Connections and Networks, 1830 to the Present' digital humanities project, a collaboration between the University of Bristol, Queen Mary University of London, and the British Library.
