Current Research Activities

My current and future research is concerned primarily with the cultural, religious, social, and intellectual history of medieval and Reformation Europe and the Mediterranean and the Mediterranean World, set in a transregional and global context. 在最宽的地方 sense, it offers a richer 和更多的 nuanced understanding of the human experience of religion, culture, society, and identity. It examines the nature and meaning of religion, culture, and community for contemporaries, their experiences of these, and how they were manifested, articulated, and negotiated in their daily lives. It utilizes the varied comparative experiences and voices of medieval and early modern individuals, families, communities, and networks in Britain, Ireland, and Europe, and beyond (including the Americas, Asia, and Africa) to explore the complex nature, development, meaning, and interplay of a variety of crucial concepts and their intersections. 这些包括 cultural, social, and religious identity and boundaries, realities of toleration and intolerance, and ideas of faith, nation, community, and conscience. 更广泛地说, it considers the significance and intersections of religion, language, culture, and gender, to the study of mentalities and the articulation of identity.
