Dr Gordon Barrett

Research Fellow

School: Humanities and Social Sciences

I am a Research Fellow in History, working on the Trans-Atlantic Platform-funded project (PI: Daniel Laqua).

I joined Northumbria in 2025, having previously been based at the University of Manchester’s Centre for the History of Science Technology and Medicine as a Research Associate on the ‘Negotiating World Research Data’ project (European Research Council). Prior to this, I served as Departmental Lecturer in Modern Chinese History and Politics for the Faculty of History and Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford (2016-2022) and as a Research Fellow at Wolfson College (2020-2022).

In 2015, alongside receiving my PhD from the University of Bristol, I undertook a collaborative digitisation and engagement project with the Needham Research Institute as part of the British Inter-University China Centre Cultural Engagement Partnership.
