About Isobel Akerman
I am a PhD student at the University of Cambridge studying History. My thesis explores biodiversity and botanic gardens in the 20th century and I am interested more broadly in Environmental History, History of Science, and Modern British History. In addition to the PhD I run an online travel blog that focuses on sites of environmental history around the UK, and I also contribute short pieces to online history collaborations on relevant environmental issues.Isobel Akerman is a History PhD student at the University of Cambridge studying biodiversity and botanic gardens.
