About Me

I am Associate Professor of History at Texas A&M Unversity–Victoria and specifically a historian of the medieval and early modern world. I received a PhD in History from Fordham University. My book, The Making of Urban Customary Law in Medieval and Reformation England (Oxford, 2025), focuses on the development of law in towns from the twelfth to the sixteenth centuries.

My research interests include the history of medieval law, urbanization, and medievalism (i.e., the middle ages in popular culture), and my teaching interests vary widely, ranging from medieval and modern Europe to global history, gender, and film.

I am currently working on a second monograph on tattooing in the Global Middle Ages, under contract with Cambridge University Press.
