Emily Quigley started as a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Digital Humanities at University College Cork in May 2023. She is the Postdoctoral Researcher on Time for Women? Gender, Chronology and Historiography before AD 900 (GENCHRON), which runs from 2022–2026. Her primary role involves examining chronicles from the fourth to eighth centuries to assess the role of women in the late antique and early medieval world chronicle tradition.

Emily completed her PhD at the University of Nottingham in April 2023, funded by the AHRC. Her PhD examined the use of Matthew the Evangelist and his Gospel in the writings of Bede (c. 673-735), offering a new reading of Bede by highlighting the centrality of Matthew to Bede’s overarching spirituality and pastoral approach. Emily previously taught in the History Department at the University of Sheffield and the University of Nottingham.
