About
I am a PhD student in religious studies at the University of Alberta focusing on medieval and early modern England, particularly women and religious ritual.
My current work is centered around ritual material culture. This year I have been writing and presenting on medieval English women and the use of childbirth rituals while tying this in to ideas of earthly communality as well as the spiritual economy. My upcoming presentation, “My Wife’s Best Wedding Girdle”: Communality and Commerce in English Medieval Childbirth Ritual Goods will be presented at the University of Alberta Consuming Religion conference, April 16-17, 2019.Publications
