She holds a PhD from the University of Leicester (2001) and previously held a Research Fellowship at the University of Manchester. Her research focuses on the history of medicine in the late 19th to mid-20th centuries, particularly disability history (physical disabilities and blindness), war medicine, and medical technologies. She is completing a monograph on blindness history (1900-1950) and recently finished a book on WWII rehabilitation. She chairs the Disability History Group and co-edits a disability history series with Manchester University Press.
Teaching includes undergraduate and postgraduate courses on medical history and disability treatment. She collaborates with institutions like the Royal College of Physicians to promote disability history awareness. Her work explores spaces for disabled veterans, military resilience narratives, and the intersection of medicine and conflict. Her publications span journals like Journal of Social History and book chapters in collections such as Routledge History of Disease.
Key contributions include analyzing disabled veteran experiences post-WWI and WWII, the role of medical institutions in rehabilitation, and the cultural representation of disability. Her research bridges medical, social, and cultural history with a focus on marginalized groups' experiences.
