Who's who
Professor of Palaeography & Manuscript Studies appointed
We are delighted to announce the appointment of Julia Crick as Professor of Palaeography and Manuscript Studies in the School of Arts & Humanities.
Professor Crick will be based in the Department of History but will lead development of the fields of palaeography and manuscript studies across the various disciplines in the School, working closely with the Centre for Late Antique & Medieval Studies. Professor Crick is a distinguished historian, known internationally for her work on the palaeography and textual analysis of the manuscripts of, for example, Geoffrey of Monmouth's Historia Regum, and the Anglo-Saxon charters of St Albans. Her most recent publication, published by Cambridge University Press in 2011, is a collaborative social history of England between the tenth and twelfth centuries, co-edited with Prof Elisabeth van Houts of the University of Cambridge.
King's College London has a long tradition of excellence in medieval studies and we look forward to working with Professor Crick to develop this field in the coming years.
