Thesis Title: The Anglo-Saxon and Irish Ideal of the Civitas, c. AD 500-1050
About
Currently my work is on the ideal of the Insular civitas, c. 500-1050. My research mostly focuses on Anglo-Saxon and Irish ecclesiastics' understanding of what a civitas was and how they used the Latin term along with their vernacular languages. I am also interested in the relationships between monasteries and secular authorities. My most recent paper considers how the Irish monastery of Glendalough fits into the Irish practice of looking at their civitates as cities of refuge.
