About the blogger

My name is Chris Pearson and I am a Lecturer in Twentieth Century History at the University of Liverpool, UK, where I'm currently working on a research project entitled ‘ Canine City: Dogs, Humans, and the Making of Modern Paris.’ This will explore the role and presence of dogs in the city’s past as workers, pets, pests, and beyond.
