Hannah is the 2020/21 Economic History Society Power Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research, affiliated with the University of Glasgow. Hannah’s research explores gender, violence, crime and law in nineteenth-century Scotland. She completed a PhD at the University of Glasgow on the legal regulation of male violence in Scotland, 1850-1914, in 2019. Her current research project – ‘Criminal types: Violence, law and society in Scotland, 1850-1914’, will explore how constructions of criminality intersected with ideas about gender, class, ethnicity and status in nineteenth-century Scotland and how this influenced the judicial treatment of male and female violent offenders brought before the courts.
