Charlotte’s current project examines the history of pregnancy in Aotearoa New Zealand since 1940 using women’s letters, diaries, contributions to social science and medical research, and archived oral history interviews. This project is supported by a Marsden Fast-start Grant.

Charlotte is also working on collaborative research projects on the international histories of social surveys, perinatal medicine, and hormonal pregnancy tests. She co-convenes the Aotearoa Gender History Network.
