About
I teach history at the University of Glamorgan in the postindustrial South Wales coalfield. Much of my research has focused on the producing and consuming of metals in Europe and the Atlantic world in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries: Swedish iron, English steel and Welsh copper. I'm interested in the intersection of these materials with wider political and social practices like the Enlightenment or Atlantic slavery. That's led me to study topics as diverse as slave-based copper mining in nineteenth-century Cuba and the use of steel in surgical instruments in eighteenth-century Britain.
Major research projects currently underway include one on the Swansea copper trade (1830-1870) as the world's first globally integrated heavy industry and a second on British reactions to the ending of Atlantic slavery in the mid-nineteenth century.
