Post-Doc, School of Historical Studies
Leverhulme Early Career Fellow
About
I studied Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic at the University of Cambridge at both undergraduate and postgraduate level, and Theology at the Albert-Ludwigs-Universität as a postgraduate.
My research focuses on religion and culture in Anglo-Saxon England, and my work is at the intersection between theology and history. My Ph. D. thesis investigated 'The development of the notions of penance, purgatory and the afterlife in Anglo-Saxon England'; and my next project, funded by the Leverhulme Trust, is entitled 'Heaven and Earth in Anglo-Saxon England' and investigates how theology affected social processes and everyday events. In particular, I will be exploring the presence of the supernatural and the ways in which saints, angels and demons played a role in daily life.
