I'm a medieval historian with a research focus on women and gender and medical history. My geographical focus is on medieval England.
My dissertation, entitled “Childless Queens and Child-like Kings: Negotiating Royal Infertility in England, 1382-1471,” focused on how royalty coped with infertility in late medieval England.
Currently, I am continuing my work on infertility by exploring how nobility and townspeople dealt with infertility.
