Dr Hannah Young PhD
Lecturer in nineteenth-century British history

Dr Hannah Young is a Lecturer in History within School of Art and Humanities at the University of Southampton.
I am a historian of late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century Britain, with a particular interest in exploring the relationship between Britain and empire. I studied history at UCL, and completed my PhD at UCL in 2017. Before coming to Southampton, I taught modern British and imperial history at UCL, Kings College London and the University of Hull and held an Economic History Society Tawney Fellowship at the Institute of Historical Research. I also have a keen interest in public history and have worked at the Victoria and Albert Research Institute (VARI) as a Project Co-Lead and Public Engagement Fellow.
