Dr. King is a Lecturer at the Department of History at the University of Bristol. She is currently writing a monograph, “Politics of Sacrifice: Remembering Italy’s 1973 Rogo di Primavalle,” which considers the ways in which memory of the 1973 arson attack has been incorporated into neo-fascist identity.
Her research interests include Transnational memory cultures, Commemoration, national identity, Fascism and neofascism. Her current research surrounds the role of secular martyrs in the construction of Italian identity.
