I am a social and cultural historian, specialising in saints’ cults, pilgrimage and hagiography in the medieval Christian West. I completed my doctorate at Oxford in 2010, and from 2010 until 2013 held a postdoctoral research fellowship at Harris Manchester College. Since 2013 I have been researching and teaching at Oxford as an Associate Member of the History Faculty. I teach women’s history and gender, and courses on medieval and modern pilgrimage at the University’s Department for Continuing Education. My published articles cover a wide range of pilgrimage themes and, more recently, have taken an interdisciplinary approach in applying anthropological theory and practice as a way of gaining deeper insight into medieval pilgrimage.
