Jack Saffery-Rowe | Royal Holloway, University of London (original) (raw)
I completed my BA Politics from Royal Holloway, University of London in June 2015. I'm currently working for the School of Advanced Study, UoL and carrying out research on the side.
My undergraduate dissertation (2:1) focused on the tensions between socialism and African nationalism in the anti-colonial struggle and the labour movement in South Africa 1917-1939.
My other research interests include feminism and gender, queer theory and history, British subaltern history and politics.
Supervisors: John Mattausch, Julia Gallagher, and Antara Datta
