I am an MA student interested in the history of religious and political intersection.

My research is primarily focussed on the theological, political, and cultural changes in the territories of the former Western Roman Empire from about the collapse of Western Roman hegemony in the 5th century to the end of Carolingian hegemony in the 9th.

I am particularly fascinated by the political valence of early medieval religiosity as well as Carolingian reception and understanding of earlier church figures.

Research Interests:

• Political theology
• Late antique and early medieval history
• Cultural history
• Religious history
