Professor Dawn Hadley

I trained as an historian in the School of History at the University of Birmingham, and having taught medieval history at the Universities of Birmingham and Leeds, I came to Sheffield in 1996 to teach Anglo-Saxon and medieval archaeology.

My research interests include:

• The society and culture of Anglo-Saxon and medieval England.

• The impact of the Vikings on Britain.

• The construction of gender, especially masculinity, in Anglo-Saxon and medieval England.

• Funerary archaeology.

• The antiquarian Thomas Bateman (1821-61).

• The Tudor hunting lodge and working-class community at Sheffield Manor Lodge.

• The archaeology of nineteenth-century working-class communities.

• The archaeology of childhood.
