Dr Fay Bound Alberti is a Professor of Modern History at King’s College London. A cultural historian, she is a passionate advocate for humanities-led science. She works internationally and explores how historical understandings of medicine, emotion and the body shape contemporary beliefs and inequalities. Fay’s work on faces is funded by a prestigious UKRI Fellowship, and was inspired by a single question: why is what we look like so important? Fay lives in London and is a hot yoga devotee.
