ProfLaura Ugolini

Laura Ugolini's research interests are in British gender history, particularly 19th and early 20th century masculinities and male identities. She has published on male support for women's suffrage, on the retailing and consumption of menswear, on the consumption of military uniforms during the First World War, on middle-class civilian men in England during the First World War and on the relationship between fathers and sons in the English middle classes between c. 1870 and 1920. She is currently researching men’s experiences of mental illness and disability in England in the early decades of the twentieth century, using records of appeals against conscription during the First World War. She is happy to hear from students interested in undertaking postgraduate research in any area related to these.
