Biography

I joined King’s in 2016 first as a teaching fellow, and from 2017 as Lecturer in Early Modern British History.

I hold a BA in History and Political Science from Trinity College Dublin (2011), and an MPhil in Early Modern History from the University of Cambridge (2012).

I was awarded my PhD in 2016 by the University of Cambridge, and I am currently writing a book addressing religious violence in Ireland in the seventeenth century, and its intersections with issues including ethnicity and empire.

In the 2019-20 academic year, I am a David Walker Memorial Fellow at the Bodleian Library, University of Oxford. Previously, I was a Scouloudi Junior Research Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research, and an AHRC International Placement Fellow at the Huntington Library in California.
