Profile

After undergraduate studies in English at Royal Holloway, University of London, I completed an MSt in English (650-1550) at St Hilda's College, Oxford, funded by a Jeremy Griffiths Memorial Studentship; this was followed by a DPhil in English at Jesus College, Oxford, funded by a Jesus College Studentship. I spent a year at the University of Groningen teaching undergraduates and MA students, before taking up a British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship at Queen Mary University of London.

College teaching

At Lincoln, I offer classes and tutorials across the breadth of medieval literature, from 650-1550. For Course I students, this includes Prelims Paper 2 (650-1350) and FHS Paper 2 ( 1350-1550). For Course II students, I teach Paper 1 (650-1100) and Paper 2 (1066-1550). I additionally teach Prelims Paper 1A, which focuses on the English language. I am able to supervise final-year theses which focus on medieval literature.

In my teaching I encourage close textual analysis alongside situating medieval literature in its historical, political, and multilingual contexts. I also incorporate medievalism into my teaching, which intersects with my research interests.
