Academic Background
I studied for my undergraduate degree in History at the University of Durham. I completed both my Masters and DPhil. at Lincoln College, Oxford.
I am currently a Stipendiary Lecturer at Mansfield and Oriel colleges, as well as a Lecturer at Jesus.
Undergraduate Teaching
I teach British History 4 (1500-1700), European and World History III (1400-1650), The Trials of the Tudor State, Witchcraft and witch-hunting in early modern Europe, Approaches to History, and Disciplines with History.
Research Interests
I am especially interested in the intersection between political and economic history, and the role of popular politics and petitioning activity in early Stuart England.
