Accepting PhD Students

PhD projects

I would welcome research students on a wide range of issues in the history and archaeology of early medieval western Europe, especially the Vikings and medieval Iceland and Scandinavia. Research proposals on social, cultural or economic history within particular medieval regions or communities would also be possible. I have published on the writing of history in the middle ages and would be interested in supervising similar topics on medieval narratives.

- Agni Papamichael, Icelandic perceptions of Byzantium (co-supervised with Prof Judith Jesch)
- Steve Walker, Early medieval Cumbria (co-supervised with Dr John Baker)
- Julie Kilbey, Childhood in Anglo-Saxon England (co-supervised with Dr Kate Sykes)
