Jake Gandy

I joined the University of Manchester in 2019 as a Masters student, following the completion of my undergraduate degree at Emmanuel College, University of Cambridge. 

I completed my PhD, which was funded by the AHRC, in 2024. I am currently in receipt of funding by the University of Manchester to complete a project based on research that I undertook during my PhD.

I am a member of the Race, Roots, and Resistance Collective. For more information, visit our website: https://www.racerootsresist.com/

I am interested in the global history of modern Britain. I am also interested in the history of race, space, and everyday life. 

My PhD project utilises space as a central analytical tool to observe how understandings of race, difference, and belonging were configured and contested in and across the different spaces - in particular, educational spaces - of Post-war Manchester. 

I teach on a variety of undergraduate courses, as well as conducting a vast amount of widening participation work
