Dr Timothy Cooper (He/him)

A social historian, my research explores the varied experiences of environmental change in everyday life as well as the charatcer of popular ideas of nature among modern Britons. I have a particular interest in the perspectives of people who, like myself, live on the shifting geographical 'edges' of the United Kingdom and the light this shines on the wider dynamics of British society. My research has made use of oral history, autobiography, and personal testimony, as well as archival sources, in pursuit of the aim of writing a 'people's history' of nature and the modern environment.
