As the Associate Chair for Undergraduate Affairs of the Department of History, I advise History majors who are not in the Honors College as well as History minors and other students who are taking or interested in taking courses about history. My teaching is concentrated on pre-modern European history. I regularly teach lecture courses on the Middle Ages and on pre- modern England. In addition, in recent years I have taught several sections of the department’s introductory seminar for undergraduates, HST 201, on the subject of medieval English peasants, as well as HST 205 (the first half of Western Civilization) HST 331 (Roman History) and senior seminars on the Norman Conquest and on Magna Carta. My research is on Anglo-Norman customary law in the eleventh and twelfth century, on which I have published one book (Transfers of Property in Eleventh-Century Norman Law) and quite a few articles.
