Profile

I lead postgraduate teaching in medieval Latin as well as teaching medieval history more widely. Before the joining the University of Leeds I was an Associate Lecturer at the University of Derby.

Research interests

My research concentrates on the use of Latin in the middle ages, including its connection to wider questions in history and literary studies. This has involved looking at medieval responses to the mass, the connection between theological teaching and poetry in the middle ages, and the amount of effort famous poets like Chaucer put into translating Latin and French moral treatises.
