I am an AHRC-funded PhD candidate at Christ’s College, the University of Cambridge, studying the relationship between food and religion in the English Protestant Reformation and the Italian Catholic Reformation, c.1560 – c. 1640.

I approach the religious change of the Reformations through embodied or ‘lived’ religious experience, and am interested more broadly in how past people understood and interacted with the material world.

With Katrina Moseley, I am founder and convener of the AHRC- funded research group, Cambridge Body and Food Histories. To find out more about our activities click here!
