About
PhD (History) with extensive research experience in archival, periodical and internet sources. My dissertation-"The Glasgow Emancipation Society and the American Anti-Slavery Movement"-encompasses 18th-19th century sociopolitical relations between America and Scotland, especially political and religious dynamics, focusing in particular on the abolition of black slavery. My earlier research dealt with 16th century Scottish social and political history, resulting in a dissertation on the religious policies of Mary Queen of Scots (published).
