Professor John Sabapathy

John Sabapathy is Professor of History. He works on pre-modern European history and the Anthropocene (the proposed epoch in which humans became geological forces globally). He co-founded and co-convenes UCL Anthropocene with colleagues in the Faculty of Social and Historical Sciences and beyond.
His research has focused on problems of accountability, institutions, and government. Officers and Accountability in Medieval England won the Royal Historical Society’s Whitfield Prize, and a co-edited collection, Individuals and Institutions in Medieval Scholasticism, was published in 2020. He has been a Leverhulme Trust Research Fellow and a Directeur d’études invité at the Écoles des hautes études en sciences sociales. His projects include a history of thirteenth-century Europe, ‘emergency history’ in the Anthropocene, and a new project on the land of Cockaigne, the subject of this inaugural lecture.
