Following several years of editing Wikipedia anonymously or via various other, often pseudonymous, accounts, I created this account and decided to keep it.

At present, I am Cambridge University Library's Oschinsky Research Associate and Fellow of Girton College, Cambridge. A former SSHRC-funded postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Toronto’s Centre for Medieval Studies and Old Books New Science Lab, and Guest Researcher at Universiteit Leiden, I completed my PhD at the University of Victoria in September 2021. In addition to my research activities, I am a co-editor for the peer-reviewed academic journal Early Middle English, and a cataloguer of medieval and Early Modern manuscripts for rare book dealers.

I edit Wikipedia in spare moments. My contributions mainly focus on improving Wikipedia’s coverage of medieval manuscripts, palaeography, and codicology—including articles on scholars who work in these areas—as well as the broader field of Medieval Studies (though I dabble elsewhere on occasion). You can reach me here, on Twitter, or via Humanities Commons.
