Profile
Research
Currently as a recipient of a GTA studentship at the University of Leicester my PhD research focuses on the role of water and healing during the Reformation. It will look at aspects of water culture in early modern England from 1520-1680 in order to demonstrate the magnetism of water and the natural world in early modern society.
My research interests lie in early modern English history particularly the social and cultural history of magic healing folklore and the supernatural.
