{"id":87,"name":"Rachel Delman","url":"","description":"Dr Rachel Delman is a Leverhulme Early Career Fellow in the Department of History and the Centre for Medieval Studies at the University of York. Prior to this, she was the 2018-19 Susan Manning Fellow at the Institute of Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH) in Edinburgh. Rachel holds degrees from the universities of Nottingham, Cambridge and Oxford, from where she obtained her doctorate in 2017. Her research explores the ways in which late medieval women expressed their power and influence through castles, great houses and urban architecture. Her first monograph (forthcoming with Oxford University Press) examines five great houses that were commissioned and headed by women in late medieval England, so as to reveal how female authority was articulated through the physical and social environment of the great household and its wider landscape. Rachel also frequently works with heritage partners to uncover and tell women\u2019s stories through the visitor interpretation at historic sites and properties.","link":"https:\/\/castlestudiestrust.org\/blog\/author\/rachel-delman\/","slug":"rachel-delman","avatar_urls":{"24":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/dc59b955f75c1a070b651713b89eca3d?s=24&d=identicon&r=g","48":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/dc59b955f75c1a070b651713b89eca3d?s=48&d=identicon&r=g","96":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/dc59b955f75c1a070b651713b89eca3d?s=96&d=identicon&r=g"},"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/castlestudiestrust.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/castlestudiestrust.org\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users"}]}}
