Dr John Sabapathy

Lecturer in Medieval History Office: 405, 24 Gordon Square Office hour: Wednesday 1-2pm, Terms 1-2; by appointment Term 3 External phone: 020 7679 3822 Internal phone: 33822 E-mail: j.sabapathy@ucl.ac.uk

I work on the comparative history of Europe/Christendom in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. 

I am currently completing a monograph on officers and their accountability in the Middle Ages, focusing on English officers in an European context.

My next project is a wide-randing study of thirteenth century Europe, 'The Cultivation of Christendom', a volume within the Oxford History of Medieval Europe. 

I'm also interested in medieval dialogues, partly within a scholastic context. With other colleagues I co-convene the UCL/Warburg scholasticism group and the IHR 'European History 1150-1550' seminar. 

My teaching includes: ‘Concepts, categories and the practice of history’ and 'Rationality' for undergraduates; and Medieval Latin and 'Europe's Long Thirteenth Century' for our Medieval and Renaissance Studies (MARS) MA, for which I am also Degree Tutor.

I studied at Wadham College, Oxford; King's College, London; and UCL, where I gained my PhD. Before returning to UCL I was a Junior Research Fellow at St John's College, Oxford. Between my BA and graduate degrees I worked in public policy on sustainable development and corporate accountability for several research institutes.
