As a historian of twentieth century east-central Europe, displacement, and international humanitarianism I am interested in the interconnectedness of social, cultural, political, and organisational histories, often focusing on those "in the middle", such as welfare workers and military officials. Alongside producing the first edited collection on the United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Administration (UNRRA), my monograph, "Occupiers, Humanitarian Workers, and Polish Displaced Persons in British-occupied Germany" is coming out with Bloomsbury Academic.
