Current Research and Biography

My research focuses on estuary landscapes in modern-day southern Scotland in the tumultuous fourth through eighth centuries CE. I work at the intersection between environmental and landscape history, and am interested in how communities were constructing new meaningful landscapes out of their surroundings. I also look at the modern reception of the period, and how more modern concepts of periphery, the frontier, and identity affect our approaches to our early medieval subjects.
