Dr. Emma Liggins (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK)

I have been involved with RSVP for twenty years and have presented at 5 conferences. As an expert in fin-de-siecle journalism, I have published three articles and several book reviews in VPR and guest- edited a special issue with Minna Vuohelainen, on the Strand Magazine (2019). I would like to give something back to the RSVP community and help with conferences, funding decisions and supporting PGRs. As Reader in English I have supervised and examined projects on the Victorian periodical press. I also have 10 years’ experience of event organisation as co-director of the Long Nineteenth-Century Network at Manchester Metropolitan University.
