Welcome to Alaric Hall’s website!

I am a senior lecturer in the School of English, University of Leeds, where I research the Eurasian Middle Ages, and Iceland from the Middle Ages to the present, and teach across the full range of English Studies. For academic stuff, this website has my most accurate and complete publication lists, and most up-to-date links to free-access online texts of my work.

I also spend quite a lot of time doing community work around South and West Leeds. There's not much about that on this website, but my contributions to South Leeds Life give some examples of what I get up to. I put a lot of time into campaigning with Leeds Green Party, and regularly stand for election to Leeds City Council.

Otherwise, I like to play drums, go to old man pubs, learn Arabic and bits of Hebrew, edit Wikipedia, stay in my tent, and to try to read books in languages I'm trying to learn/not forget.
