About
As a writer I love to play with words in both English and Latin, finding the right way to say something with accuracy, clarity, and elegance.
As a teacher I like to make the unfamiliar accessible and the past present, helping students see how history shapes the world we live in — and what delights and puzzles it holds.
As a historian I study the Middle Ages, specializing in texts on ethics, justice, and law written between 500 and 1500 AD.
Books
St Antoninus of Florence on Trade, Merchants, and Workers (University of Toronto Press, 2024)
Teaching
I have a Ph.D. in Medieval Studies from the University of Toronto. Since 2017 I have taught history at the University of Manitoba, and I’ve also taught at the University of Winnipeg and at Durham University in the United Kingdom.
