Leiden University. Aspiring Old English Professor. Interested in relations between Early Medieval England, Northern Africa, and Western Asia.
Delighted to have presented at @imc-leeds.bsky.social in Leeds! My paper looked at how Ælfric’s Lives of Saints portrays ‘the East’ (the modern Middle East) as both a heathen land of conflict and a source of wisdom and miracles. Thanks to the organisers and all who came! #OldEnglish #IMC2025

Hwæt! If you're still around the last day of Leeds (July 10), do come and join the session where I'm giving a paper about Ælfric's depiction of 'the east' in his Lives of Saints :) #imcleeds2025

Very happy to have worked for @unileiden.bsky.social's 2-day conference on Ælfric of Eynsham! With over 20 speakers from 16 different universities, it was indeed a packed couple of days. Next stop: @isseme2025.bsky.social in Düsseldorf!

Just visited the Medieval Women exhibition at the @britishlibrary.bsky.social, and it was fantastic! I especially appreciated the inclusion of Arabic books/textiles, even with the primary focus on Europe. Highly recommend catching it before it ends in March!

A few days ago I attended my MA graduation ceremony! Special thanks to @norselass.bsky.social for supervising my thesis "Imagining the East in Early Medieval England," exploring West Asia & North African representation in Old English texts, with a focus on Ælfric's Lives of Saints. Next stop: PhD :)
