I am currently working on a monograph entitled, The Art of Physic: Medical Discourse in English Culture, 1380-1450. It is a study of the absorption of medical knowledges in late medieval English culture arising from the increased circulation of medical texts among a lay readership. It identifies a distinctive and generative medical discourse at work across a variety of literary genres and cultural forms in the late medieval period. This work emerges from my PhD thesis. My research, focusing on the uses and circulation of medical learning beyond the academic and professional spheres, aligns with the broad interests of the health humanities.    

I am an honorary visiting fellow with the School of English at the University of Nottingham. I have taught medieval literature and culture at Nottingham and Birkbeck College.
