Research Topic

I am interested in the intersection of British imperialism and infrastructure in the Ottoman Empire (c. 1850-1918). In particular, I am focused on the British railway in Western Anatolia. My research considers how this relationship manifested itself in various forms of visual and material culture and how these visual cultures shaped and were shaped by the social and political histories of their production and reception.
