Author Information

Claudia Soares is a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellow and NUAcT Fellow at Newcastle University. Her current research combines 'new' imperial history and history of emotions approaches to examine the development of transnational welfare policy and recover the experiences of individuals who spent time in state and voluntary institutions across Britain, Australia, and Canada between 1820-1930. She has published her work in The History of the Family, History Workshop Journal, Journal of Victorian Culture, and Cultural and Social History. Her research interests include welfare and poverty, the history of the family, the history of emotions, race, empire and migration, and histories of landscape and environment.
