Rosa Campbell

I am a historian and writer based in London. 

​

I work on the global history of feminism. I hold a PhD in history from the University of Cambridge. In March 2025, I began a three year Leverhulme Early Career Fellowship at King's College London researching Global South feminism and the United Nations in the late 20th Century. I have held fellowships at Harvard, The University of Edinburgh and the National Library of Australia. 

​

I am passionate about bringing ideas to life beyond the university. I am hard at work on a book about Shere Hite and her bestseller The Hite Report which will be published by Melville House in 2026.

​

Before completing my PhD, I worked as a Special Educational Needs teacher and literacy consultant in London and more recently as an assistant head. I also work with schools to improve literacy practice, reading teaching and to develop creative teaching. I work with museums and cultural institutions to develop their inclusive practice.

​

I have been active in movements for justice in London and Sydney. For my work toward gender equality, I was the recipient of an Edna Ryan award.
