PhD in Medieval History
I obtained my BA in History and Latin at the University of the Sorbonne, before completing an MPhil in Medieval history at Trinity College Dublin. MPhil dissertation explored warrior identity and affectivity in the Old French "Chanson de Roland".
My PhD thesis, which is supervised by John Arnold, focuses on confession and lay affectivity in the time period surrounding the Fourth Lateran Council (1200-1300).

I am studying how the practice of confession allowed the construction of discourses on interiority, emotions and selfhood, and how those were related to various lay devotions and identities (knighthood, women, etc.).
I am interested in comparing vernacular texts to Latin text, and in particular clerically-oriented texts to lay-oriented texts, medieval emotions, the variations of lay piety and the question of religious conformism in the central Middle Ages.
