Research Interests
My research interests are based around cultural studies in medieval Britain (1066-1535). For my PhD thesis, I am examining the cultural significance of church bells in medieval Britain, investigating their uses, soundscape, and creation with an interdisciplinary focus. This was initially investigated as a pilot study during my Master's dissertation.
I am currently under the co-supervision of Prof. Sue Niebrzydowski and Dr. Euryn Roberts.
