About
My thesis is a study in social history, tracing the publications and work of Allen and Unwin from the archives held at the University of Reading. My research demonstrates that the need for a cultural push towards objectivity and criticality in education and everyday thinking has become ever-more important and necessary over the past century and the exponential progress that has occurred in that time. My personal work is geared towards making the mental processes that necessitate this cultural shift more easily accessible and hopefully better understood in order to create motivation within individuals to address their ways of thinking. I also aim to provide courses and tuition that encompasses engagement with these processes and practical application of modes of critical thought. Education
I am currently completing a PhD at the University of Reading. My MA considered the social and cultural factors that reinforce prejudice within a culture, framed around Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man. My current thesis traces the history of the publisher Allen and Unwin and their advocacy for open fora and objective consideration, with the ultimate argument that, in the modern world, the ability to think critically is ever-more necessary and important.
