Mr Tom McAuliffe

Positions

Stipendiary Lecturer in History 

Qualifications

BA (Oxon), MSt (Oxon)

Academic Background and Previous Positions

I read History at Oxford and am coming to the end of a DPhil at the same. I came to Brasenose as a Stipendiary Lecturer in 2023. Prior to that, my research was funded by the Wolfson Foundation from 2020-23, and I was a Scouloudi Fellow at the Institute of Historical Research, University of London, from 2023-24.

Undergraduate Teaching Areas

I teach central and late medieval history, of both the British Isles and Europe.

Research Interests

I work on texts and their uses in England (and sometimes elsewhere) after the Conquest. This began as an interest in Domesday, the survey of 1086, and the way in which its structure and language inflected royal fiscality, the exercise of governmental power, and the mediation of that power by its recipients. This has required me to look at texts from such far-flung periods as the seventh century to the seventeenth, and since then I have become increasingly interested in how historical texts can influence their context, and how language has shaped reality.
