Profile Articles Activity

I am a historian of energy, the environment and modern economic systems (finance, trade and transport) from the eighteenth century to the present.

I have written extensively on the historical evolution of modern energy regimes and the impact of energy-intensive societies on culture, everyday life and the natural environment in the Global South and North. Since receiving a PhD in economic history from the University of Cambridge, I have held various research and teaching posts at the University of York, the University of Manchester, Birkbeck College and Queen's University Belfast.

In addition to my work on energy history, I have published on the histories of transport marketing, paper currency and lotteries.
