Catherine Clarke

Catherine Clarke heads up a new research centre that draws on the expertise and interests of the Institute for Historical Research’s staff and its flagship projects within the Centre for Metropolitan History and Victoria County History. Its role is to develop research, training and public engagement activities that demonstrate the scholarly value of the history of people, place and community. The IHR, part of the School of Advanced Study at the University of London, is a world-renowned resource and meeting place for researchers. Its mission is to provide leadership among the historical community and promote the study of history and an appreciation of the importance of the past to academics and the public.
Prof. Clarke previously held a personal chair in English at Southampton in 2012, having previously taught at Swansea University and Oxford University. Her undergraduate and postgraduate studies were at Oxford University, the University of Reading and King’s College, London. She has published widely on the literature and culture of the Middle Ages, as well as experiences and uses of medieval culture today. Her work is often inter-disciplinary and collaborative, involving new media and digital methods, and is interested in the ways that Knowledge Exchange, creative idioms and collaboration beyond the academy can help to drive and transform scholarship.

Keith Lilley

His expertise lies in interpreting historic landscapes, maps, and built environments, in particular using geospatial technologies (eg. GNSS/GIS/GPS).
For more than a decade he has led cross-disciplinary research projects mapping and evaluating historic fabric and form of towns and cities in Britain and Ireland, collaborating with research organisations, non-academic partners and local communities through public engagement activities and the development of web-based resources. He also has interests in the history of cartography and digital mapping, creating online map-based web-resources to help broaden access to and use of historic maps.
He is currently chair of the Historic Towns Trust (HTT), a charitable organisation that oversees the production of the British Historic Towns Atlas series as part of the wider international European historic towns atlases project established in 1955.

Tadhg O’Keeffe

I’m a first-generation Dubliner, married to Margaret, with two children (Evan, 16, and Anne-Elise, 13) and three cats. I specialise in European and Irish architectural history, especially of the period between the 11th and 17th centuries, but I maintain a range of other interests, many of them across conventional disciplinary boundaries. I’m happy to discuss research ideas with prospective postgraduates.
Outside my discipline my main interest is music, and I always enjoy chatting about this to students who share this interest. I’ve been collecting for years, and I reckon I have listened to more than 6,000 albums. My great passion is jazz, starting chronologically with Monk, Powell, Blakey and those guys, and I’m glad to be able to say that I got to see Miles Davis in concert. I have a special affection for early blues, 1970s funk, European free improvisation, and of course Dylan and Hendrix. The jazz album that has given me the most sustained pleasure is probably John Scofield’s Hand Jive (1994). My favourite album regardless of genre, if I had to pick one, is probably Tim Buckley’s Greetings from LA (1972). I have long harboured the ambition to ghost-write Bob Weir’s autobiography. (Bob, if you’re reading this….)

Leonie Hicks

Leonie studied History at University of Cambridge before moving to the University of Nottingham to complete an MA in Archaeology. She returned to Cambridge for her doctorate under the supervision of Prof. Elisabeth van Houts. Prior to joining the department at Christ Church she was a teaching fellow at University of Southampton for several years. Her research interests lie in the social, cultural and religious history of Europe in the central middle ages, especially the Normans, religious life and gender. Her approach is informed by both historical and archaeological methodologies as well as theory relating to the use and importance of space/place. She is also interested in interdisciplinary teaching and you can read more about this aspect of her work in the teaching section.
Leonie has participated in the Social Church Network of early career ecclesiastical historians and the Norman Edge symposia at Lancaster University. She regularly organises and participates in sessions at the International Medieval Congress at Leeds, most recently establishing a strand on landscapes and seascapes. Her current projects include a planned monograph on ‘Landscapes of the Normans’ and a joint project with Dr Nicholas Karn (Southampton) on ‘Editing Medieval Texts’.
