Biography

I am currently a fifth year PhD candidate studying the movement and migration of people, objects and ideas within the island of Great Britain between the 13th and the 15th centuries to examine two inextricable questions critical to the ideological origins of later British colonialism: When did the English become the British?, and hence, when did the British Empire begin?
