I'm a social and cultural historian of Modern Britain, specialising in the period from 1750-1939. My research straddles two (sometimes overlapping) strands 1) the politics of culture and democratisation of culture, and 2) the relationship between imperialism, collecting, museums and exhibitions.
I grew up in Lancaster and moved to Manchester for my BA. After a year teaching in China I returned for my MA and then PhD. I started as a Lecturer here in 2021.
I sometimes tweet at @lewryder, though mainly about football.
