Margaret M. Scull is a historian of modern Britain and Ireland. After graduating with a PhD from King's College London in 2017, she has held teaching and research fellowships at KCL, the National University of Ireland, Galway, and Syracuse University London. Her multi-disciplinary research explores the relationship between religion and politics in the contemporary period; particularly the 'soft power' influence religious leaders still possessed in British and Irish politics after the Second World War. Her current project examines the role of funerals throughout the Northern Ireland 'Troubles'.
