PhD cover

After my Art History BA at the University of Manchester, I went on to take an MA at The Courtauld Institute of Art, and subsequently wrote a PhD there. The Courtauld does not make its students’ theses public on the British Library’s EThOS, so this is the only place you can read it.

You may also be interested in my MA and BA dissertations.
