About me
I am Senior Lecturer in History at the University of Hertfordshire, where I am also director of the Centre for Regional and Local History.
For a quick summary of me, see: https://about.me/katrina.navickas
My main research interests are in the history of popular politics and protest in late 18th and early-mid 19th century Britain, particularly in the North of England. I enjoy experimenting with GIS and mapping protests and meetings.
My new book, Protest and the Politics of Space and Place, 1789-1848, is published by Manchester University Press (December 2015).
It is about how local and national governments attempted to privatise public space to exclude mass working-class movements for the vote and workers' rights, and the social movements' contests over such spaces. It also examines Luddites, Swing rioters and enclosure rioters as precedents for the anti-globalisation movement. See my website: http://protesthistory.org.uk for interactive maps and lists of meetings.
My first book is Loyalism and Radicalism in Lancashire, 1798-1815 (Oxford Univ. Press, 2009).
I am originally from Rochdale in Lancashire. I was lucky enough to read Modern History at St. John's College, Oxford. I taught at Oxford, Bath Spa and Edinburgh universities before I moved to the University of Hertfordshire in 2009.
Outside researching and teaching history, I enjoy going to gigs and record shops, and listening to BBC 6music. I am a very occasional member of the Mystery Fax Machine Orchestra. I generally try to see Half Man Half Biscuit play live at least once a year. My favourite HMHB song is 'Emerging from Gorse'.
