Late nineteenth / twentieth century history of the labour, Socialist and trade-union movement in Scotland and Ireland, with particular reference to the transnational figure of James Connolly.
Calls for land reform and the Crofter's War in the Scottish Highlands.
The labour movement in nineteenth / twentieth century Europe in general.
Current Research
I am currently in the closing stages of completing my PhD in History at the University of Aberdeen: Organised Labour in Comparative: Scotland and Ireland, 1880-1920.
The thesis primarily examines comparatives, links, and particularly 'transnational individuals', such as the Scottish born, Irish Socialist and Labour Leader, James Connolly in relation to the labour movements of Scotland and Ireland during this specific time period.
