Biography
As a member of the Department of History and as the co-ordinator for the Medieval and Early Modern Studies (MEMS) program at Carleton, my teaching seeks to demystify the medieval world. I teach a range of courses from an introduction to European history (HIST 1001, The Making of Europe) to advanced courses looking the medieval manuscripts in Carleton’s library (HIST 4007, The History of the Medieval Book). Together with students in MEMS, I am cataloguing the unidentified medieval manuscripts and fragments in Carleton’s Archives and Research Collection.
Research Interest
