About

I am historian of the later Middle Ages with a particular interest in intersections of economic and cultural history, the communicative construction of identities, institutions, and spaces, and antagonisms and convergences of urban, monastic, and noble culture. I completed my Ph.D. at Durham University as a Leverhulme Doctoral Scholar (in a cotutelle arrangement with Münster University) and worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant at Durham and King’s College London. I worked at the German Historical Institute London before joining UCL.
