Short info

I work at the intersection of academic practice and learning, and am involved in projects related to pedagogical approaches to academic writing and artificial intelligence, with emphasis on the humanities.

I research power in art and literature, especially in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.

Research

My research focuses on late medieval and early modern literature, theatre, and visual culture, with particular interest in political rhetoric, law, memory, mythmaking, dragons, and political theology.

As a senior academic librarian, I also work with scholarly practices in the humanities, especially academic writing, information literacy, source use, and the role of artificial intelligence in learning and research.

A further part of my work concerns libraries as spaces for research, learning, democratic participation, freedom of expression, and public knowledge.
