Jamie is a historian of race and power in the early modern Anglo-Atlantic World. His current project seeks to understand how the social life of London changed as Britain developed racialised systems of enslaved labour across the Americas. He is using a range of sources - court records, printed materials, and administrative records - to trace the lives of Londoners racialised as black.
Jamie is also interested in using the digital humanities to undertake and present historical research. Currently, he is Assistant Editor at the Slavery, Law, and Power Project (University of Maryland). Previously, he has worked on a digital transcription of James Knight's 1746 "Natural, Moral, and Political History of Jamaica".
Jamie is a History Graduate (MA, MScR) of the University of Edinburgh and former Editor-in-Chief of Retrospect Journal.
