Independent Scholar / Included
Dr Nick Basannavar is an historian specialising in the cultural, social and sexual history of contemporary Britain, and joins SHaME as an Associate Fellow. Nick’s recent research explores the ways in which sexual violence against children has been represented and discussed in public, professional and personal spheres. His forthcoming book with Palgrave Macmillan, Sexual Violence Against Children in Britain Since 1965: Trailing Abuse, investigates representational and attitudinal changes and continuities through the lens of crises such as the Moors murders, the Cleveland child sexual abuse episode and the case of Jimmy Savile. Nick is also the Head of Impact at the inclusion consultancy and think tank Included.
