I am a postgraduate researcher working on venereal disease and sexual health in twentieth century Anglo-Jewish history. This project is part of Birmingham’s Histories of Sexual Health in Britain, 1918–1980 and is funded by Midlands4Cities as a collaborative project involving the University of Birmingham, the University of Warwick, and Barts Health Archives.

My research focuses on sexual health and Jewish migration in London’s East End. I am interested in the way Jewish migrants were represented in the medico-sexual discourses of early-mid twentieth century Britain, as well as the way Jewish people, as both doctors and patients, navigated and produced sexual self-knowledge during this period.
