Jane's research is on intellectual, cultural and religious history, predominantly since the nineteenth century, including the study of gender and visual culture over wider periods.  The common thread has been a concern with the historical understanding of beliefs and values. She has recently been part of a major collaborative and interdisciplinary Leverhulme-funded project (2011-2015) on the impact of diasporas, within which my focus has been on Jewish, Christian and Muslim cultures in East London since 1880.
