Meet the Team

Victoria focussed on how political ideologies are interwoven into our interpretations of history and archaeology during her undergraduate at University of California Los Angeles and her master's degree from the University of Reading. When she's not reading up on the latest politics news, Victoria enjoys gardening on her allotment, solving crossword puzzles, and watching Only Connect.

Stephen holds a BA in Contemporary History and an MA in International Relations from the University of Leicester. He has a particular interest in the politics of the Middle East and how polarity impacts stability. His MA dissertation focused on how the 2003 Iraq War impacted Israel’s strategic position. Outside of college, he enjoys being in the great outdoors and especially backpacking to distant and diverse places. His current favourite destination is the Himalayas.
