Anna Maguire

I am a historian of mobility and migration and my work explores colonial and post-colonial encounters in Britain and the British Empire, attending to gender, ethnicity and class. My PhD at King’s and IWM comparatively examined the encounters of colonial troops from New Zealand, South Africa and the West Indies during the First World War and I was a member of the HERA project Cultural Exchange in a Time of Global Conflict, led by Santanu Das. I am interested, too, in the memory and commemoration of colonial participation. Subsequent research has examined mixed-race relationships in Britain in the post-war period.
