Simon Rumble Asks:

Obviously your main area of focus is British Medieval History. Do you have secondary field of interest ?

If we’re talking about my professional fields of study as a historian, my primary field is the history of public policy, followed by U.S history, followed by intellectual history, followed by labor history, followed by modern European history. 

But I’ve also studied medieval and modern Japanese history, Greek and Roman history, the Later Roman Empire, Medieval Europe, and economic history.
