Dissertation
My doctoral work examines mid-Victorian ideas of physical and moral pollution and its intersections with cross-class desire and slumming. My dissertation focuses on working women and noseless women as ‘dirty’ and ‘disgusting’ fetishized objects in Arthur Munby’s archival collection of diaries and photographic albums.
