University of Greenwich Conversations | History Podcast - University of Greenwich 1.0

Four History PhD researchers explore some of the methodological and histographical issues facing contemporary historians.
Taking as the stepping off point the consequences in the present of a time traveller crushing a cretaceous era butterfly, in essence what we are all asking ourselves is how do we identify the “big roar or the little rustle in history “? We hope you enjoy listening.

Chloe Emmott studied archaeology at the university of Liverpool for BA and MA, where she developed an interest in the history of archaeology, focusing on John Garstang’s excavations at Jericho for my MA thesis. This led her to a scholarship at Greenwich where she is studying the history of British archaeology in Palestine. Her archaeological background has provided with a different perspective on history, that has only occasionally left her horribly confused.

He obtained his BA from the University of Leicester in History and his MA in International Relations from Leiden University, where he focused on spectres of imperialism in Iran, communication and media. His current research focuses on the Indo-European Telegraph Department in the nineteenth and early twentieth century and British power in Iran and the Gulf. He is particularly interested in the intersection of empire, space and technology, telegraph stations and workers.
