Dr. Alice Hicklin is a Research Fellow and Research Associate on the interdisciplinary project 'Musical Lives: Towards an Historical Anthropology of French Song, 1100-1300 (MUSLIVE)', based at King's College London's Department of Music within the Faculty of Arts & Humanities. She holds a PhD in Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic (ASNC) from the University of Cambridge (2016), preceded by an MA in Medieval History (2011) and undergraduate degree in ASNC (2009). Her research focuses on medieval documentary practices, kinship networks, legal systems, and the intersection of music with historical anthropology.

Her work examines charters, cartularies, and legal texts as literary constructs, particularly how documentary practices inform understandings of medieval music's social context. She has collaborated on projects like 'After Empire' (Berlin 2016-19) and 'Connected Clerics' (Royal Holloway 2019-21). Teaching experience includes courses on early medieval history, Old English, and Scandinavian studies at Cambridge, Durham, and the Freie Universität Berlin.
Her recent publications explore post-imperial Latin West clergy, gendered power dynamics in tenth-century Europe, and cross-cultural analyses of medieval hostage systems. Current research bridges musicology with documentary studies to analyze vernacular song as a transnational social practice.
Advisory roles include second supervision of a PhD on early medieval kinship structures. She co-edited After Empire: Using and Not Using the Past (Routledge 2019) and is co-authoring a monograph on medieval priests with Cambridge University Press (forthcoming 2024).
