  mentoring_philosophy: "As a mentor, I believe in empowering the mentee to conduct their own research. This means working with them on developing the skills and knowledge needed to research but also letting them identify relevant material and research questions. My aim is less to direct mentees' research and more to facilitate their own development as researchers in their own right. I aim to be available to help when challenges arise and always to provide a sounding board for discussion, but also to let mentees get on with their research, taking charge of it themselves. The great advantage of collaborative research is that different members of the team bring different things to the project, so I aim to help mentees identify and develop their own strengths."

  overall_research_project_description: "This research project involves the use of stories about bandits to explore aspects of the history of Spain. For example, some of the indigenous peoples of the Iberian Peninsula who rebelled against Roman rule were described and celebrated as bandits. Likewise, some of those involved in the armed resistance against the authoritarian rule of General Franco were also labeled bandits. What do these and other bandits tell us about Spain and her history? What do they reveal about people's attitudes to government, their economic, social and cultural lives and so on?"
