 the responsibility -- to lift their families and communities out of poverty. With this twenty-first-century context in mind, I will use the global Girl Guide movement (which was established in Britain in 1909 and had attracted over a million members in 40

 national and colonial contexts by the 1930s) to better understand the longer history of how class-specific and racialized ideas about girls and girlhood have been used to further particular visions of imperial-international relations and "development."</span></p>

 Her research uses interpretive techniques from across the humanities and social sciences to better understand how young people interacted with global processes and events across the twentieth century. Her book Guiding Modern Girls: Girlhood, Empire, and Internationalism
