Susannah Bain
Susannah Bain is a D.Phil candidate at Jesus College, Oxford. Her thesis considers communication and connections in historical narrative texts written in Italy in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries. She is interested in how ideas about connections with other places and senses of wider geographies contribute to identities, and how we can understand ‘news’ in chronicles. More broadly, her research concerns collective identity, space and memory. She has also recently become interested in asking how scholars can do history in less human-centred ways – focusing particularly on trees.
