Kellie Moss is a Senior Research Associate at the Leicester Institute of Advanced Studies (LIAS), University of Leicester, affiliated with the School of History, Politics and International Relations. Her academic background includes a BA in Modern History from De Montfort University (2012), an MA in History from the University of Leicester (2013), and a PhD from the University of Leicester (2018).
Her research specializes in colonial forced labor systems and carceral history, with geographic focus on British colonies. Her doctoral work examined Western Australia (1829-1868), analyzing entanglements between indentured European servants, apprenticed juvenile emigrants, convict laborers, and Indigenous Australians. She extends this to British Guiana through studies of crime/punishment (1814-1966) and mental health in colonial jails (1825-present).
Moss has led major transnational projects including the ERC-funded The Carceral Archipelago (2013-2018), a British Academy GCRF project on Guyana (2018-2019), and an ESRC GCRF project on mental/neurological disorders in Guyanese jails (2019-2022). At LIAS, she manages cross-university research portfolios with academic stakeholders.
