I am a historian of nineteenth-century Britain whose work traces the moral imagination of the age — its struggles to think ethically about animals, nature, and the human place within them. My current research recovers Anna Kingsford and Henry Salt as significant but neglected figures in the intellectual history of modern ethics. Through their writings, I explore how evolutionary and spiritual ideas reconfigured questions of kinship, moral value, and the porous boundaries of the human. I am completing my PhD at Loughborough University and pursuing postdoctoral research on Kingsford’s philosophical legacy.
