Speaker bios

Dr Sam Blaxland is the Generation UCL Research Fellow, at University College London. Between 2016-2021, he was a Post-doctoral Research Fellow, and then Lecturer in Modern History, at Swansea University. His first monograph was Swansea University: Campus and Community in a Post-war World, 1945-2020. Sam was born and raised in Pembrokeshire, West Wales.

Dr Bertie Dockerill is Senior Tutor of Planning and Environmental Management in the School of Environment, Education and Development, University of Management. His primary research interests are focused on nineteenth- and twentieth-century urban history, especially issues of civic improvement, the development of municipal social housing and the historic development of town planning. He has long standing interests in the history of student debating (both in the UK and globally). He is editor of the peer-reviewed journal, Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, editorial assistant of both Town Planning Review and International Development Planning Review, and an elected Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.

Dr Jay Rees completed her PhD in History at Swansea University. Her thesis examined student life at the institution from 1920 to 1990. A historian, specialising in higher education, everyday living, gender and post-war history, her passions have seen her write about major societal themes throughout the twentieth century—including youth culture, war and student activism.

Emily Sharp is a PhD candidate at Northumbria University working on the AHRC-funded project ‘The National Union of Students and its Internationalisms: British Students and Transnational Solidarity from the 1950s to the 2000s’.

This event will be free to attend. Information about lunch is forthcoming.
