Research Interests
Medieval history, especially social and religious history, c. 1000-c. 1300.
I have worked on the changing regulation of child oblation in canon law;
on the place of non-Christians in medieval Christian society, including
economic, social, legal, and religious interaction; and on medieval
frontiers, Christianization and
state-building -
http://christianization.hist.cam.ac.uk. My current work
and future projects focus on ideas of Christendom, sanctity and the history
of social exclusion.
Teaching Interests
Medieval European history, c. 1000-c. 1500 (I supervise for Papers 14
and 15 in Part I). I also do graduate teaching and supervision in fields
linked to my research interests.
