I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of English working on the ERC–UKRI project, 'Mapping the March: Medieval Wales and England, c. 1282–1550' (MOWLIT). See further details at: https://blog.mowlit.ac.uk/

As part of the project, I am contributing to a database of places, people, manuscripts, and texts to be integrated with newly revised digital maps of the Marcher lordships.

Alongside data capture, I am working with Dr Luciana Cordo Russo on an edited volume entitled 'The French of the Celtic Worlds', an exploration of the contexts and dynamics of Francophone culture in premodern Celtic-speaking territories. See further details at: https://blog.mowlit.ac.uk/french-of-the-celtic-worlds/

I am also working on an independent project entitled Other Earths. This project analyses images and materialities of mud, compost, and fungi in a series of experimental encounters between medieval texts and contemporary eco-theoretical thinkers as ways of (p/re-)imagining ecological futures in our time of climate catastrophe. Chapters include dialogues between: (1) Béroul’s Tristan and Bruno Latour; (2) Christine de Pizan’s Cité des dames and Donna Haraway; and (3) the manuscript BnF, fr. 2168 and Anna Lowenhaupt Tsing.  This research underpins a grant application on Premodern Mycologieswhich I am in the early stages of formulating.

My wider research interests include: the literary cultures of premodern Britain, France, and Occitania; medieval multilingualism; manuscript studies; digital and environmental humanities; Arthurian literature; medieval literature and critical theory.

Bio: I studied French and German at Jesus College, Cambridge (2009-13), before completing an MA in French Literature and Culture (2013-14) and a PhD in French (2015-19) at King’s College London, where I was supervised by Professor Simon Gaunt and Professor Julia Crick. I then held a Junior Research Fellowship at St John’s College, Cambridge (2019–2023), before joining the Mapping the March project at the University of Bristol.
