Dr Carole P. Biggam is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in English Language and Linguistics, University of Glasgow, UK. With a first degree in British archaeology and a doctorate in Old English (Anglo-Saxon) semantics, her research is principally concerned with the multidisciplinary investigation of problematic lexical semantic fields such as those denoting colour and plant-names in historical languages. Apart from several articles, she has written The Semantics of Colour (Cambridge University Press, 2012), co-edited the 6-volume Cultural History of Color with Kirsten Wolf (Bloomsbury Academic, 2021) and edited Magic and Medicine: Early Medieval Plant-Name Studies (University of Leeds, 2013). She was the Director of the Anglo-Saxon Plant-Name Survey, and of the Glasgow Colour Studies Group, as well as the co-founder of the Progress in Colour Studies conference series. She is a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London and of the Royal Historical Society, and a Life Member of Clare Hall, University of Cambridge.
