Project Summary

My PhD examines adolescent sexual culture in the long 1960s. I'm particularly interested in how (hetero)sexuality became increasingly associated with identity and selfhood at this time, how this was negotiated in practice, and what this meant for understandings of marriage.

For my PhD I'm conducting an oral history project designed to explore women's experiences of relationships, sex and youth culture in the second half of the twentieth century. You can read more about the project at: https://historyofthepermissivesociety.wordpress.com/
