Research Interest
Angela McCarthy's research focuses on global, transnational, and comparative migrations (especially Scottish and Irish) and the history of migration to New Zealand. Her current major project is a study of Ceylon tea and empire, conceptualised through the eyes of its progenitor, James Taylor, renowned as the ‘father of the Ceylon tea enterprise’. She also maintains expertise in Scottish, Irish, and New Zealand history, and the history of madness.
