In 2011 my Undergraduate thesis (St John's College, Oxford) was awarded the Association of Art Historians National Thesis Prize, sponsored by Thames & Hudson.

Entitled, The importance of being Ernst: a reassessment of E.H. Gombrich's relationship with psychoanalysis the thesis drew upon previously unpublished primary material to radically rethink the twentieth-century art historian's relationship to the psychology as a broad field.

The piece was published by the Journal of Art Historiography in December 2012, and can be read here.

Published alongside was my edit of a historic conversation between Prof. Ernst Gombrich and Prof. Joseph Sandler, key figure in European psychoanalysis. ”Art and psychoanalysis – 15 June 1988. Speakers: Professor Joseph Sandler and Professor Sir Ernst Gombrich”, part of the series “Dialogues on Contemporary Issues” hosted by the British Psycho-Analytical Society in the summer term of 1988 can be accessed here.
