I am a historian of gender, sexuality, welfare and labour, with a focus on modern Germany. My new project is a microhistory of a West German workhouse (~1945-1979). The project foregrounds inmate experiences and places particular attention on questions of gender and sexuality.

My previous research has focussed on histories of commercial sex (prostitution) in West Germany. Together with Sonja Dolinsek (Magdeburg), I am currently working with the estate of sex worker and activist Marc-of-Frankfurt to create an edited source collection, to be published in 2025.

Before coming to Glasgow, I worked as a research associate (‘wissenschaftliche Mitarbeiterin’) at the University of Greifswald, Germany. Previously, I was an associated doctoral researcher at the Leibniz Institute for Contemporary History, Potsdam, and completed my PhD at Birkbeck College, University of London, in 2022.
