He has published four books (with Oxford University Press and Cambridge: Icon Books), is working on a fifth, and has also published seven peer-reviewed articles, and a number of conference articles, reviews, and book chapters. His latest research project is a study of the "dancing mania" that arose in several different locations in sixteenth-century Europe.
