Kat Hill<\/a><\/p>\n

Kat Hill is Lecturer in Early Modern History at Birkbeck College and works on the history of religion, identity and culture in the early modern world, specialising particularly in the Protestant Reformation and its legacies. She did her undergraduate degree, Masters and DPhil at the University of Oxford, and was a British Academy Post-Doctoral scholar at Oriel College, Oxford. Before starting her current job at Birkbeck in September 2017, she also worked as a Lecturer at UEA. She has published several articles and a monograph<\/a> on Anabaptist and radical identities in the Reformation era, and her recent research on Lutheran culture after Luther\u2019s death produced a volume<\/a> in the Past and Present supplement series. Her current research examines the transitory identities of radical groups such as the Mennonites and Hutterites in the early modern world as they formed new communities, faced exile or migrated, and constructed their own historical, emotional, and cultural identities in transnational contexts.<\/p>\n

She is currently the Senior Postdoctoral Research Fellow on the collaborative, Wellcome-funded project, Renaissance Skin<\/a> at King\u2019s College London. Hannah is currently interested in writing practices, (especially calligraphy), record-keeping and material culture, and what such sources can tell us about political culture, medicine and the body in the sixteenth century. Her book, A New Order of Medicine: The Rise of Physicians in Reformation Nuremberg<\/a>, was published by University of Pittsburgh Press in 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n
