Research
Research Networks:
I was previously an active committee member of the South West of England and Wales Late Antique, Early Medieval, and Byzantine Network. The Network hopes to link like minded reaserchers studying similar periods (300-1500 CE) across different diciplines. I helped organise the Network's first annual colloquium on identity on 22/05/2020. Due to Covid 19, this was adapted to an online event, but was still a fantastic day, with over 50 attendees.
