Profile

I read history as an undergraduate at Magdalen College Oxford, where I also completed my DPhil under the supervision of Dr Susan Brigden. I was a lecturer first at Queen’s University Belfast, and then at King’s College London, where I became Reader in History in 2015. I joined the college as Langford Fellow and Tutor in History in October 2016.

College teaching

At undergraduate level I teach a range of courses on late medieval and early modern British and European history, including the further subject ‘Literature and Politics in Early Modern England’, the optional subject ‘Witchcraft and Witch-hunting in Early Modern Europe’, the interdisciplinary paper ‘A Flame of Fire: reading, reform and salvation in late medieval England’ and the special subject ‘The Trial of the Tudor State: Politics, Religion and Culture 1540-1560’. At postgraduate level I teach for the early modern strand of the MSt and supervise a range of research projects connected with late medieval and early modern political, religious and cultural history.
