I am a historian, curator and researcher who thinks critically about how bodies and worlds meet. I work at the intersection of environmental history and the history of science, medicine and technology to explore the connections between bodies, environments and health. I am currently Lecturer in Environmental History at Newcastle University. Previously I was a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Copenhagen. I gained my PhD from Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) in 2018. I’m also a museum professional with 10 years of experience. I have worked in collections and curatorial roles at the Science Museum in London, the Hunterian Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons, and the Royal College of Physicians Museum. I am passionate about building bridges between museum practice and academic research. My first book Imperial Bodies in London was published by University of Pittsburgh Press in 2021 and I am currently writing a history of circadian rhythms for Polity Press. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d11a652b43a110628755e/1628967240420-F0H5X7MTG8OETH2URO8J/bloom.jfif Home Kristin Hussey in conversation with Isabella Martin, Zach Gerhart-Hines and Peter Stanners at Bloom Festival 2021, Copenhagen. https://kristinhussey.co.uk/exhibitions daily 0.75 2025-08-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d11a652b43a110628755e/b72ae2a4-1a56-4ab3-b136-b0cec5d9b94e/Body+Clocks_Isabella+Martin_CBMR_001_Photo+by+David+Stjernholm.jpg Exhibitions Installation view: Protocols by Isabella Martin, Credit: David Stjernholm https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/608d11a652b43a110628755e/fbe2db56-bd5f-4278-863c-f0e06205feb3/Verden-er-i-dig_KC_019_Photo-by-David-Stjernholm.jpeg Exhibitions Installation view, Time Animals by Isabella Martin.

While it has been well established that British medicine spread around the globe during the colonial period, this book makes the opposite move and follows how the empire made medical knowledge and practice at home in London. Inspired by the anatomical organization of Victorian medical museums, it explores how the encounter between empire and Britain was located in specific organs – the liver, the brain, the eyes, and the blood. Through a series of case studies, the book demonstrates how the exchange between London and the empire was facilitated by mobile bodies of sailors, administrators, missionaries, and military men – but stymied by hierarchies of authority, prestige, race, gender and imperial power. Inspired by the author’s work as a museum curator, the book is grounded in the personal stories of doctors and patients, and uses material culture to enliven the everyday experience of being a body in the networks of empire. This book that will be of interest to historians, geographers, museologists and general readers with an interest in medicine, empire, disease, environment, mobility, and race. The book is now available to purchase from the press or from many online sellers in hard back or e-book formats.
