Dissertation title: "Frankish Disputing, 750-1000"
Dissertation director: Dr. Jennifer R. Davis

My primary interest is the social and legal history of early medieval Europe. My main focus is on how the law was practiced and what its practice reveals about early medieval society, particularly in the Carolingian period. I am interested in top-down and especially in bottom-up, communal mechanisms of conflict resolution and dispute settlement in the early Middle Ages. In my MA thesis, I explored some of these themes using ninth-century Bavarian charters.  For my doctoral dissertation project, I am investigating dispute settlement in Carolingian and post-Carolingian continental western Europe, north of the Alps and Pyrenees
