Claire McNulty is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow on a Manuscripts for Medieval Studies Project at the Library of Trinity College Dublin, supported by Carnegie Corporation of New York. Claire is interested in the lived female experience of church discipline across early modern Edinburgh, Scotland, and beyond, and its intersection with ideas on gender, sexuality, and power. She has published an article on 'A Case of Adultery in Trinity College, Edinburgh, 1638' (2023) and '"Gryt Abuse is Found in this Toune": James Sharpe in South Leith, 1639-1645' in Chris R. Langley et al. (eds), The Clergy in Early Modern Scotland (2021).
