Research title: Fraternity, feuds, and the academic bubble: Masculinities at Scotland’s universities between 1560-1606
Research summary
My PhD research looks at masculinities (systems of behaviour practised by men) present amongst Scottish academics in the post-Reformation period, between roughly 1560 and 1610. Using approaches from the history of emotions, the field of masculinities studies, and considering how power and authority work for and against academic men, my work looks at the professional and intimate lives of intellectuals. My PhD work is funded by SGSAH.
I also research medieval gender in England and France, currently I'm looking at masculine behaviours displayed by abbots and monks in England.
Grants
I am funded by the Scottish Graduate School for Arts and Humanities Doctoral Training Partnership (SGSAH).
