Michael Plowden-Roberts Email & Phone Number

I am a graduate from the University of Winchester, finishing my bachelor's with an upper second class in History focusing primarily on Medieval England between 600-1100 AD but writing my dissertation focusing on Literature in the First World War. I had switched to Classics & Ancient History beginning my Master's in 2021 at Durham University. My research interest is Near Eastern religions in antiquity, Comparative Religion and Early Christianity in theology and cultural studies with my dissertation project focusing on Gnosticism in the 2nd and 3rd centuries.Moving on from my MA I began my PGCE in Religious Education at the University of Oxford for 2022-23. Here I have strengthened my teaching capabilities and received internship at schools within Oxfordshire. My experience with the University of Oxford has been one of both continuing development of previous interests but also in developing new ones.Research Interests: • Christian Theology• Patristics• Faith in the Modern Era• Catholic Social History
