Research Paper: The New Western Wall: the use of the Crusades in the rationale of far-right organisations and what this reveals about the readings of its history.

“The triumphs of the Crusade were the triumphs of faith. But faith without wisdom is a dangerous thing.” This paper seeks to demonstrate the uses of the Crusades in the rationale of both Christian extremist and Islamist organisations and what this reveals about the readings of its history.

I was a History undergraduate at Durham University, where I was part of the 2021-22 Laidlaw Scholars cohort (2020-23). Afterwards, I studied MSt in Global and Imperial University at Oxford University (2023-24) with a specialisation in postcolonial Anglophone African history and English-speaking Caribbean under the British empire.

Now, I'm currently working in digital marketing.

For my research, I investigated the use of the Crusades within far-right organisations and what it reveals about the readings of crusade history. During my second summer, I was a part of the ThinkPacific Youth and Community project in Fiji from June to July 2022. 

If you have any questions about my research, LiA, or history stuff in general, feel free to contact me here! Also, I like music, video production, and photography.
