Biography

Tanya Cheadle is a modern historian specializing in sexual progressivism, esotericism, and global masculinities. Her research focuses primarily on the late-Victorian and Edwardian periods, examining the significance of heterodox belief systems and their impact on emerging global modernities, gendered sexual beliefs, practices, and identities. Cheadle's current research, awarded the Carnegie Research Incentive Grant, investigates masculinity and power during Scotland's occult revival, alongside a collaborative project with Radboud University examining normative esotericism and critical interrogations of race and gender. Cheadle published the monograph "Sexual Progressives: Reimagining Intimacy in Scotland, 1880-1914," a major study analyzing the efforts of feminists and socialists who opposed the moral conservatism of the Victorian era. She contributes extensively to her field through publications, teaching, and active participation in academic societies.
