Late-Medieval Spain

| Research |
I am primarily interested in the late-medieval Crown of Aragon. My Dissertation (tentatively titled "Language Use in Late-Medieval Arago-Catalonia") traces the social, political, and cultural implications of vernacular writing in Arago-Catalonia between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries. My minor fields include: early medieval history; medieval Castilian and Catalan literature; and colonial Latin American history.
