Description
I completed my PhD at Canterbury Christ Church University in 2020, with funding from the School of Humanities. My thesis, supervised by Professor Louise Wilkinson and Dr Leonie Hicks, analysed the records generated by Jewish moneylending activities in England between 1194 and 1275/6. Additionally, I have published a number of articles and chapters on the Anglo-Jewry, including ‘The materiality of debt to Jews in England, 1194-1276’, Jewish Historical Studies, 49 (2017), pp. 56-71, and ‘From Chirograph to Roll: The Records of Thirteenth-Century Anglo-Jewish Moneylending’ in Ionuț Epurescu-Pascovici (ed.), Administrative Accountability in the Later Middle Ages (Brepols, 2020). I am now an independent researcher exploring my many esoteric interests in medieval Anglo-Jewish history. I am a member of the Jewish Historical Society of England’s advisory board and a board member of the MedievalJewishStudiesNow! blog.
