Dr Matthew Bradman
With two degrees in biomedical sciences and a doctorate from Liverpool University, Matthew worked at laboratories in London and Turin before developing his interest in writing into full-time collaboration at LINCH. Since coming to us he has worked extensively on the Acid Houses project. However he insists that his role has been merely to facilitate, emphasising the self-connecting nature of creative historical storytelling.
His interests include the role of energy shortages in shaping post-United Kingdom identity, and particularly in north-south narratives in contemporary English culture.

Interested in the role of storytelling in ending the United Kingdom, Michael is developing a project to trace narrative diversity in post-Union Liverpool.
Born in Toxteth, Michael is also interested in the global reach of Scouse culture and its unintentional influences outside of the city. He argues that narrow understanding of a Scouse diaspora hides a plurality of thought (commenting how rarely we meet the plural scouses), and which his research aims to celebrate. His work aims to give voice to unsung influencers of the post-Union landscape.
He is a part-time researcher at LINCH.
Having completed a degree in History from Liverpool University, Diric is following a four year PhD program at LINCH. Working primarily with volunteers to record testimony for our Acid Houses project, his research has been crucial in developing the story. Diric has been responsible for collecting much of the unique LINCH archive of material pertaining to The Blackout.
He has ongoing research interests in community-police relations on Merseyside, and in the figure of the outsider at the intersection of cultural integration and urban innovation.
His interests include slacklining, urbex and the occasional highlining expedition.
