Inner Lives: Emotions, Identity, and the Supernatural, 1300-1900 is a three-year project funded by the Leverhulme Trust. The project will explore personal and collective identities in western Europe and America, focusing on patterns of continuity and discontinuity over six centuries. The PI Malcom Gaskill (UEA) will work on the period 1500-1700, with CIs Sophie Page (UCL) focusing on 1300-1500 and Owen Davies (University of Hertfordshire) on 1700-1900.

This RA post will work with Dr Sophie Page and be based at UCL. The RA will visit archives and libraries in France, Italy and Germany, finding information that Page will use for her monograph, ‘Cosmology, Magic and Inner Lives’. This will primarily relate to the fields of late medieval cosmology, demonology, magic and medicine. The successful candidate will engage in original research related to the project and publish the results of his/her work through papers at scholarly conferences and in an academic journal.

The Research Associate will be based in London but will travel to Europe to work in archives; and deliver papers at academic conferences both in the UK and abroad.

This post is funded for 18 months in the first instance.
