Dissertation Title: Military and Naval Nursing in the British Empire c. 1763-1820
Website: The Military Nursing Project
Fields of Expertise: Early Modern Britain; Medical History; Nursing History; British Atlantic World; Military and Naval History
Dissertation Description: To explore how and why military nursing was established as a female domain from the late eighteenth century, I examine five key issues: the hospital as a household, nursing and imperialism, health through hygiene, the changing status of military nurses, and the relationship of the Napoleonic nurse to the new medicine. My research considers how race, class, and gender were intertwined in shaping the medical system and the process of selecting nurses, and draws on many archival sources including letters, medical treatises, personal papers, regulation books and hospital pay lists.
