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.

I am also working on an independent project entitled Mudbound which analyses the images and materialities of mud, soil, and earth in medieval literary and manuscript culture through dialogue with recent ecotheoretical writings. Chapters include encounters between Béroul's Tristan and Bruno Latour's Earthbound; Christine de Pisan's Cité des dames and Donna Haraway's Terrapolis; and an exploration of fungal traces in and on medieval texts.

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.
