My interests lie in medieval steppe societies, cross-cultural encounters, religious conversion, rituals, and social memory. My MPhil dissertation will evaluate perceptions of the ‘conversion’ of early medieval steppe societies to Christianity, Islam, and Judaism by their sedentary commentators, ultimately exploring cultural (mis)understandings of ‘religion’ by immanentist vs transcendentalist, and nomadic vs sedentary societies
