I gained a BA, MPhil, and PhD in Classics from Cambridge before moving to Oxford as a JRF in History at Trinity College in 2008. In 2011 I returned to Cambridge as a Leverhulme Post-doctoral Fellow and Fellow in Classics at Churchill College, before returning to Oxford in 2012 as the A.G. Leventis Lecturer, then Associate Professor, in Eastern Christianity (split 50/50 between the Faculty of History and the Faculty of Theology and Religion). I moved from Trinity to St Peter’s College, where I am now a Research Fellow, in 2018.
