Brown Bag Research Seminars give historians at Lancaster the opportunity to share research in progress in an informal setting. Do bring your lunch!
Dr Zoe Alker joined Lancaster University in 2022, where she researches and teaches the digital history of crime, justice and punishment from eighteenth to twentieth century Britain. Over the past decade, her work has established new interdisciplinary approaches that combine history, osteoarchaeology, criminology and digital humanities to advance histories of crime, justice and punishment. Central to this work has been developing innovative ways of enhancing public engagement with digital history by creating open access digital archives that give the public direct and searchable access to some 35 billion words of primary sources evidencing the social history of modern Britain [Digital Panopticon, Convict Tattoos, Skin and Bone].
