Teaching interests

I teach a number of courses on Early Modern European history, particularly relating to topics of faith and religion. I have run the first-year historiography module, our second-year course The European Reformations, and led our second year Heritage and Public History module. I currently lead a second year module called 'Other Voices', which studies early modern society through groups on its fringes, like heretics, the poor, and foreigners, convene HIS4006, an introduction to Europe, 1450-1700, and my third-year special subject HIST609- French Wars of Religion. This module looks at the political, religious, and cultural tensions within France during the sixteenth century, 
I have supervised dissertation papers on plague, witchcraft, diabolism, poor-law reform, anabaptism in Germany, and trans-Atlantic reform movements, among others, and have supervised masters level work on early modern atheism, and Quaker memorial culture, and co-supervised a recent PhD on masculinity in the Royal Marines during the 18th century,
