Rachael Harkes is a Postdoctoral Research Associate focused on the ERC-UKRI project MOWLIT: Medieval March Wales, 1282-1550, which maps literary geography in the British Border Region. Her research interests lie in exploring the multifaceted influences that shape individual actions through decision-making processes and using digital humanities methodologies. Currently, she is working on a monograph that examines the prevalence of national religious guild membership in late medieval England and Wales, arguing that guild membership was a vital aspect of medieval life, reflecting societal structures and creating new communities that transcended boundaries. Rachael is involved in several smaller projects leveraging extensive records of the Palmers’ Guild from Ludlow, focusing on gendered membership in English religious guilds and the socio-economic influences on debt repayment in the Welsh Marches.
