Born in South Yorkshire, Emily has spoken to over a hundred former miners over the last five years, collecting their memories of the industry and travelling to their communities. She was previously the Research Manager at the Imperial War Museum and contributed to several public-facing publications, including as assistant curator for the award-winning Holocaust Exhibition. She is passionate about bringing history to wider audiences, being recently selected as one of fifteen successful candidates for the Television Festival's TV PhD talent scheme.
