I am a historian working at the Open University, UK.

I am interested in early modern religious culture, especially in Scotland: I want to understand how people in the past experienced religion and how it fit into their lives.

My previous research has explored how the Civil Wars affected worship; how social care in seventeenth-century Scotland was shaped by religious and political change; and how clergy and their families experienced the Reformation and Civil Wars. My current research project explores the Scottish General Assemblies between 1638 and 1653.

I am the Co-Director of the project ‘Mapping the Scottish Reformation: A database of the Scottish clergy, 1560-1689’.
