Laure will join us as a Research Fellow in January 2021. She is Lecturer in modern history at The University of Manchester. She is a historian of modern Europe, with a particular interest in the history of humanitarianism. Her next project will explore international medical cooperation during the Second World War, through an examination of close bodily encounters between medical staff and patients in various sites across the world. Drawing on the methodologies associated with the global micro-history turn, her research focuses on different international medical spaces set up by the French external Resistance in the Middle East, Africa and Europe. Her research for RIAH examines how military attacks and new technologies of wounding impacted on the psychological and physical health of those attending the wounded in different medical spaces and environments, including the western desert.
