James Bradley lectures in the Centre for Health and Society and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science. His research interests range across several fields, including: the history of medicine, particularly the role of therapy in the creation of medical identities and the history of CAM (Complementary and Alternative Medicine); the history of the body, including tattooing; the body as a site for punishment; and the body in sickness and in health; convict transportation to Australia; sport and colonialism; and the way that we deploy technology to interrogate historiographical problems.
James has an MA (1986) and PhD (‘Cricket, Class and Colonialism’, 1991) in History at the University of Edinburgh, and a Graduate Diploma in Computing at the University of Dundee (1993). James spent ten years as a researcher at the Wellcome Unit for the History of Medicine at Glasgow University, where he developed a deep love of, and enthusiasm for, the history of medicine.
