This is going to be such a brilliant project and there’s no one better to lead it!
With good academic news from my friends so rare these days, I want to shout about Claire Burridge's exciting new ERC project even though she's not on here! How cool is this?! Congrats Claire!
Researching food and pharmacy in medieval Northern Europe
- Faculty of Humanities
How did people in the Middle Ages think about the relationship between food and health? With funding from the EU, Claire Burridge will shed new light on this question.

Looking forward to being in UCC in a fortnight to mark this important exhibition by speaking on the mobility and multiplicity of the Annals of Inisfallen in manuscript, alongside talks from colleagues from Oxford and UCC!
One of most important surviving records of medieval Ireland
The Annals of Inisfallen are now on public display in a major new free exhibition at University College Cork.

Really proud of this volume of Analecta Hibernica, periodical of the Irish Manuscripts Commission. As editor I have encouraged more Irish language texts and more women as editors - thinking about the sources for Irish history in their wonderful diversity
