If you don't feel like reading, watch my talk with Janet Weston at the Wellcome on less told histories of HIV. #HistMed #HistSex

Here I also spoke about queer women's health activism, based on my work for the 'Cultural History of the NHS' project.

Curious about my work on queer women's health? Read my article ‘The Wild Women of the West (Midlands)’ where I chat about how some very cool Birmingham dykes defined queer health & activism in the 1990s. #HistMed #HistSex #LGBTQ

Before the NHS project, I worked as the historian of emotions on 'Placing the Public in Public Health', collaborating with the excellent Alex Mold, Daisy Payling, Peder Clark & @millieqed.bsky.social

Curious? Here's our article on polio vaccine promotion:

Before that?

I did my PhD on the representation of HIV to children and adolescent's in Britain (book forthcoming with MUP).
