Research Interests

My research focuses on questions of landscape and periphery in fifth-to-eighth-century southern Scotland. I am particularly interested in communities centered along the Firths of Forth, Clyde, and Tay, and how settlement and landscape exploitation changed in the centuries following the end of Roman exchange networks.

Biography and Research

My primary research, and the subject of my dissertation, focuses on southern Scotland in the tumultuous centuries following the withdrawal of Roman military presences and networks of exchange in the fourth and fifth centuries. I am largely interested in how communities centered on major estuaries in the region changed during this period, and how the wider experienced landscape shifted over time. 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.

I received my B.A. in History in 2017 from the University of Kentucky, including a minor in Modern and Classical Languages. Following this, in 2019, I graduated from the University of St Andrews with an M.Litt. in Mediaeval Studies, where I wrote my dissertation on Northumbrian control in East Lothian, Scotland, in the seventh and eighth centuries.
