I am a PhD candidate in the History Department at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. I study questions of female mobility in the early Middle Ages in Europe, particularly the economic and cultural impact of the movement of enslaved women. Currently, my work encompasses a variety of topics from the intersection of enslavement and sanctity, to the capture of female hostages and the travels of textiles and pots. I have an MPhil in Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Celtic from the University of Cambridge, where my project focused on the role of women in cultural assimilation in the Viking North Atlantic.

This paper experiments with the application of a more-than-human lens to the Raffelstetten record and other evidence to generate new insights into the intimate experience of enslavement and the interspecies networks of relations that shaped the slave trade and slave markets in early medieval Europe. Human and animal entanglements, as revealed in the Raffelstetten record, determined how enslaved people experienced capture, transport, and sale.
