Geraint Morgan is originally from Pencoed outside Pen-y-bont ar Ogwr (Bridgend) in South Wales and is a MPhil candidate in Mediaeval History at Jesus College, Oxford. Prior to that, they completed their undergraduate degree in Mediaeval History at the University of St Andrews, having arrived to read Geography. Their principal interest is in understanding how medieval people perceived their environments. Whilst thier work to date has mostly focused on pre-conquest Welsh cultural and social histories, they are keen to work transnationally and collaboratively. Whilst an undergraduate at St Andrews, Geraint completed a Laidlaw Research project focusing on the role of women in High Medieval Welsh society.
