I obtained my doctorate in History from the University of Oxford with a DPhil thesis pertaining to the life, work, and (political) activism of the international pacifist, feminist, and suffragist Rosika Schwimmer (1877–1948). Previously graduating in literature and modern languages, I also hold a second PhD degree in American Studies and lectured, tutored, and published extensively in the academic fields of gender, post-colonialism, critical theory, and cultural criticism as well. Additionally, I worked as a postdoctoral and, subsequently, an associate fellow at the Rothermere American Institute at the University of Oxford, plus earned a business certificate from the Saïd Business School. My most recent publications include, for instance, a journal article for a special issue of Women’s History Review and book chapters for editions and collaborative compilations by Bloomsbury, Brill, and Palgrave Macmillan.
