Business Historians at Business Schools

I approach business history through textiles and fashion. In particular, I  am interested in textiles as agents of economic and cultural change in processes of circulation from the eighteenth to the twentieth centuries.

 My holistic approach is grounded in a BA (Hons) in Textile Design (ESDI, Universitat Ramón Llull, Barcelona, with an Erasmus exchange at ÉnsAD, Paris), a BA (Hons) in the History of Art (Universitat de Barcelona, with exchanges at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid and the University of Pennsylvania), a two-year MA in the History of Design (Victoria and Albert Museum/ Royal College of Art), and an interdisciplinary PhD at the University of Glasgow, funded by a Lord Kelvin-Adam Smith PhD scholarship. Most recently, I completed a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at the University of Edinburgh for the AHRC-funded digital humanities project ConnectingThreads.co.uk. 

In my research, I combine business records with other archival and material sources. I have published articles in Fashion Theory, Enterprise & Society, and The Journal of Historians of Netherlandish Art.
