My research interests include the history of policing, the family, law, gender, sexuality, and empire. My dissertation research focuses on the history of policing gender, sexuality and the family during the British Mandate for Palestine (1920-1948). In my work, policing the family includes the traditional arenas of colonial surveillance of the family, such as regulating age of marriage and polygyny, as well as the oft-neglected issue of sex work, a sphere of regulation typically conceived as separate from the nuclear family. I utilize legal sources, such as legislation, court transcripts and police records, as well as newspapers and periodicals, as my primary source base for this work.
