Research interests
I'm a historian of early medieval Europe between 500 and 1000 whose work focusses in particular on reproduction, medicine and healing. I have researched the history of abortion and infertility in relation to religious beliefs, legal regimes, political culture and medical practice. My first book (Abortion in the Early Middle Ages) explored the varying and even conflicting ways ecclesiastical authorities, secular powers and local communities reacted to abortion across several early medieval societies. While a lot of my research to date has been about how people thought, I am increasingly interested in what people did and experienced, and the material circumstances in which they did so. I would also like to look more at wider comparative histories of premodern reproduction and medicine.
