Brown Bag Research Seminars give historians at Lancaster the opportunity to share research in progress in an informal setting. Do bring your lunch!
Professor James Taylor's research explores the cultural, political, and legal dimensions of economic change in Britain since the 1700s. He has published on subjects ranging from the early history of corporate governance and the regulation of commercial fraud, to the history of the financial press and the growth of advertising.
His current research examines the financialisation of everyday life in Britain since the mid nineteenth century. Concentrating on ordinary people and everyday experiences rather than financial elites and ideologies, this research seeks to provide a history of finance 'from below'. It is particularly interested in the spatial, material, and emotional dimensions of people's engagement with finance.
