I offer a range of modules on the political and cultural history of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Alongside undergraduate survey teaching on Europe in this period, I offer Special Subject Honors modules (levels 3 & 4) on the French Revolution (List 1), on Napoleon and on the religious history of France in the long eighteenth-century (List 2). At postgraduate level, I also teach modules on eighteenth-century cultural history and the enlightenment in France for the History Department’s M.Phil programme in Early Modern History. I am happy to supervise postgraduate research in any of these areas.

As a historian of the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era, my research primarily addresses the relationship between cultural change and political conflict in France over the long eighteenth century. My most recent research revolves around two themes, the study of popular religious culture in France from the Revolution through to the Restoration and the encounter between soldiers and civilians across Europe during the Revolutionary wars. In collaboration with colleagues from TCD, Freie Universität Berlin, York and Swansea, I am a member of an international research project funded by HERA: ‘Making War Mapping Europe: Militarized Cultural Encounters, 1792-1920
