Dr Gordon Barrett

Research Fellow

School: Humanities and Social Sciences

I am a Research Fellow in History, as a member of the project team on the project (Trans-Atlantic Platform) and am a co-investigator on 'Historicising Earth System Governance: International Organisations, the Environment and the Geopolitics of Expertise, 1950s–90s' (British Academy International Interdisciplinary Project Awards 2026).

I joined Northumbria in 2025, having previously been based at the University of Manchester’s Centre for the History of Science Technology and Medicine as a Research Associate on the ‘Negotiating World Research Data’ project (European Research Council). Prior to this, I was Departmental Lecturer in Modern Chinese History and Politics for the Faculty of History and Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford and a Research Fellow at Wolfson College, Oxford.

In 2015, alongside receiving my PhD from the University of Bristol, I undertook a collaborative digitisation and engagement project with the Needham Research Institute as part of the British Inter-University China Centre Cultural Engagement Partnership.
