About
I completed a BA in Latin and French languages and literatures at Wellesley College before taking a second undergraduate degree in Anglo-Saxon, Norse & Celtic at the University of Cambridge, followed by an MPhil and PhD in the same department. From 2011–2013 I was a postdoctoral Junior Research Fellow in Celtic at Christ Church, University of Oxford.
Research Interests
My main research interests centre on medieval Irish and Latin language, literature and textual culture, the history of linguistic thought and education in classical and medieval tradition, early Irish medical manuscripts and medieval Irish and Welsh law. I am currently working on editions and translations of two medieval Irish texts: one a tract on literary analysis and rhetorical doctrine, and the other a discussion of practical medical matters.
I also serve as Treasurer and Membership Secretary of the Henry Sweet Society for the History of Linguistic Ideas.
