Researcher and teacher in medieval studies. Currently a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Bergen, Norway, researching sex, money, and power in the story of the 'harlot saint' Thais.
I've been in Bergen for a couple of weeks now, getting used to a new city and new institution. It's really exciting to have two years in front of me for research! I'll be digging further into the figure of Thais in medieval culture, & thinking through modern responses (and responsibilities) to her.

Wishing I was back beside Lac Léman instead of roasting in Oxford! I got to go to Lausanne (and the Chateau de Chillon as pictured) last week, for the wonderful 'Holy Harlots / Saintes Ribaudes' symposium held at @unil.bsky.social by Juliette Vuille & Prunelle Deleville. www.unil.ch/events/en/17...
