Mary Vincent is Professor of Modern European History at the University of Sheffield.
Her main research interests lie in the history of modern Spain, particularly in the period of the Civil War and the Franco dictatorship (1931-75), and she has also published widely in the history of gender.
While her earlier work looked at fascism and political violence, her current focus is on religious violence and the 'culture wars' of twentieth-century Spain. An article on church burning was published in September 2022, which looks at the emotional effect of iconoclasm, and she is currently completing a monograph on 'Franco's Cusade'. From 2016-18 she held a Leverhulme Trust Major Research Fellowship to work on this project.
