About Claire Taylor

I am a fourth-year English and Modern History student at the University of St Andrews. My research looked at the intersection of gender history and transnational history by examining women's involvement in the Esperanto movement in Scotland and the Midlands, and my leadership-in-action was the Think Pacific Health Promotion project. I'm interested in all things art, history, literature, and social change!

Mapping the Songs, Lectures, and Lives of Scottish Dressmakers, Doctors, Chemists, and Journalists: The Case for Women Esperantists in 1911 Scotland

This research uncovered the professional and personal lives of Scottish women Esperantists, an area of gender history and transnational history unwritten until now. Utilizing land and spatial history, cartography, software, and statistics, I analyzed archival material for this research.
