Biography
Before joining the department as Lecturer in Reformation Studies, I was fixed term Lecturer in Early Modern British History at the University of York. Prior to that, I was the Mary Ward Postdoctoral Research Fellow at Durham University, where I also completed my PhD with the support of a Durham Doctoral Studentship.
Research Interest
My wider research interests are in early modern historical writing; Reformation-era martyrdom; Protestant, puritan and separatist ecclesiology; toleration; and the notion of heresy in late medieval and early modern Europe.
