John Angus Macaulay
DPhil Student
From Toronto Canada, I completed my undergraduate degree at the University of St Andrews in 2020 where I read medieval and early modern history. I have since traveled to Oxford where I received my master's degree and have now embarked on doctoral research.
My research is particularly focused on medieval culture and religion, the history of the book, and the medieval environment, largely in the context of the pre-Viking insular world and late antique Europe.
Research Topic
A Monastery Amidst the Whales' Shrine: The Environmental, Cultural and Political Implications of the Ocean to Early Medieval Iona
Supervisor: Dr Conor O'Brien
