Sam Turner is currently the Director of Research for the School of History, Classics and Archaeology at Newcastle University. He is also the editor of Medieval Settlement Research and a member of our own International Medieval Congress’s Programming Committee. His research focuses on the landscapes of Britain and Europe after the Roman period, and on medieval archaeology (particularly early medieval religion). As such, in addition to the project that forms the basis for his IMS Open Lectures paper (As One Monastery in Two Places: Wearmouth and Jarrow in their Landscape Context), he has been part of multiple projects involving the categorisation of historic landscapes and seascapes, most recently the ‘East Yorkshire to Norfolk Historic Seascape Characterisation’. He also organised the ‘Making Christian Landscapes: Conversion and Consolidation in the Early Middle Ages’ conference in, September 2012 (with Dr Tomás Ó Carragáin, UCC). His book, Life in Medieval Landscapes: People and Places in the Middle Ages, was published by Windgather Press in 2012.
