Research Interest

Matthew McKean’s research and teaching interests range broadly across nineteenth and twentieth-century British history. His work explores modern urbanism and the city, social movements and social change, public protest, riot, and ‘the crowd,’ space, place, and everyday life, while his teaching focuses on the social and cultural life of modern British cities and the immigrant experience in postcolonial London. He is emphatically interested in geographical and social theory, historically grounded cultural studies, transgressive urban phenomena, the cultural life of cities, including fiction writing and the visual arts, colonialism and postcolonialism, immigration and multiculturalism, from the movement of people through cities and around the world to the politics and experience of exclusion.
