IKGF Research Project:

Strategies for Coping and Arguing with the Future in Early Medieval Italy


Curriculum Vitae

After studying history, political sciences and the history of law, I obtained my PhD in Frankfurt in 2011. My thesis focused on education at the royal court of Saint Louis in the 13th century, where the king himself established a program of instruction for the future king(s) and queen(s). From 2011 onward, I worked on a DFG-funded project in Tübingen on the separation between the former eastern and western Roman Empire in the period from 400-600A.D. Since 2014, I have worked at the chair for Medieval History in Erlangen. My habilitation project focuses on the (cultural) differentiation processes in Early Medieval Italy. Moreover I am interested in church history, the organisation of knowledge in the Middle Ages, modes of Early Medieval communication and didactic literature of the Early and High Middle Ages.
