Jade Jesty is a PhD Student at Pembroke College, University of Cambridge. Her PhD focuses on Royalist experiences in the British Civil Wars, 1625-1660. The project seeks to explore variegated expressions of Royalist allegiance in key moments of physical conflict, by exploring the methods of political self-fashioning undertaken by non-elite soldiers and civilians involved in siege warfare.
Jade is a member of the Academic Panel and Advisory Board at the National Civil War Centre in Newark-on-Trent, and a contributor to the World Turned Upside Down Project. She is passionate about access and outreach at Oxbridge, and works as the Casual Admissions Assistant at Pembroke College, where she delivers lectures and seminars to prospective History applicants from state-school backgrounds. She also teaches undergraduates on topics relating to Early Modern British History.
