About
Danielle is an interdisciplinary scholar whose work spans across historical sociology, narrative theory and cultural studies. Her research examines constructions of age, intergenerational power (im)balances and the relationship between definitions of adulthood and different forms of capital. Danielle's work foregrounds the significance of place, particularly physical cities and digital spaces, in individuals’ experiences and cultural narratives of age.
Danielle has teaching, research and administrative experience in Higher Education, supporting both undergraduate and postgraduate students, and she is experienced in teaching across the social sciences, arts and humanities. Before joining LSE100, Danielle worked as an Associate Tutor at the University of East Anglia and a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire.
Danielle completed her PhD in American Studies at the University of East Anglia in 2024, where it was funded by a Faculty of Arts and Humanities Postgraduate Research Studentship. Her doctoral thesis theorised a framework for the literary and social study of age by examining how a selection of New York City novels both reproduce and resist neoliberal narratives of American adulthood. Prior to undertaking her doctoral research, Danielle completed an MPhil in Education from the University of Cambridge.
