Alexander C. Harden is a PhD student in popular song analysis at the University of Surrey. Following an MA in electroacoustic composition at the University of Birmingham, he came to Surrey in 2014 to work under the supervision of Professor Allan Moore. Alexander’s current research project investigates ways in which recorded popular songs afford ways of imaging a possible world as the basis of narrative interpretation.

My research will be an interdisciplinary examination of the Belfast punk scene in the late 1970s. Mainly applying an oral history methodology, I intend to use this subculture to explore issues of belonging, sectarianism, spatial division and resistance in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. The project will bring together elements of sociology, conflict geography and cultural memory theory, as well as more traditional historical analysis.

I am interested in fourteenth century English history with a focus on local communities, voluntary associations and issues surrounding individual and group identities. My thesis is entitled 'The English Guild Enquiry of 1388-9: A Comparative Study of English Guilds and Fraternities at the end of the Fourteenth Century'. The enquiry represents the first occasion on which many guilds and fraternities are revealed with formalised identities. The evidence from the enquiry also represents a unique cultural point in late medieval history; the returns survive in three languages: Middle English, Latin and French, representing the three languages that were in use at this point in time. My thesis will re-evaluate the scholarship of Joshua Toulmin Smith (1870) and H. F. Westlake (1919) who are to date the only two historians to have examined the enquiry in its entirety.
