Welcome to this episode in the new series of Local History Matters, the podcast run by the British Association for Local History (BALH) to highlight hidden local histories. In this series, we will be discussing with researchers how they got into their field of study, and what their topic can tell us about local history more generally. In this episode, our Social Media Fellow Megan Kelleher chats with Dr Angela Muir, who is a lecturer in British Social and Cultural History and the Director of the Centre for English Local History at the University of Leicester. Angela is a social and cultural historian of Britain in the long 18th century with an interest in gender, sex, crime, deviance, medicine and the body in Wales and England. In this episode, Angela explained some of her research into women in Wales in the eighteenth century and the resources she has utilised to conduct her studies.
