Rowan Dorin
Associate Professor of History
BioI am a historian of western Europe and the Mediterranean, primarily during the high and late Middle Ages. Much of my research tries to understand how law and society interact with each other, especially where legal norms conflict with social practices. Another strand of my research explores the history of economic life and economic thought, especially medieval debates over usury and moneylending. I have also written on the circulation of goods, people, and ideas in the medieval Mediterranean.
My recent book (No Return: Jews, Christian Usurers, and the Spread of Mass Expulsion in Medieval Europe, Princeton University Press, 2023) uses the banishment of Jewish and Christian moneylenders to explore the rise of mass expulsion as a widespread practice in the later Middle Ages. A second ongoing project examines the ways in which medieval canon law was adapted, reinterpreted, or resisted in local contexts in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The latter builds on Corpus Synodalium, a prize-winning full-text database of late medieval local ecclesiastical legislation that I have been developing since 2016, with assistance from colleagues around the world.
Born and raised in western Canada, I did my undergraduate and doctoral work at Harvard University, earning an MPhil in Medieval History from the University of Cambridge along the way. Before coming to Stanford, I was a Junior Fellow at the Harvard Society of Fellows. -

James Dornan
Senior Applications Engineer, IT Services
Current Role at StanfordAs a Senior Applications Engineer at Stanford University, I design, develop, integrate, and optimize enterprise applications supporting campus identity, physical access, housing, scheduling, and institutional data systems.
My work frequently involves connecting complex systems that were not originally designed to work together. I have developed integrations between Stanford's building access control systems and StarRez for automated student access management; synchronized data between CS Gold and Lenel OnGuard; connected ID card systems with the campus data warehouse for student, staff, and alumni information; and integrated 25Live scheduling data with access control to automate room access based on scheduled events.
I have also developed applications for bulk access assignment and revocation, building alarm notifications, and ID photo submission and review.
A major focus of my work is performance and scalability. I designed and developed Databolt, a Docker-based data-processing service that uses parallel processing, hashing, and pre-emptive caching to minimize unnecessary work and dramatically improve throughput. Databolt reduced processing of 10,000 records from approximately 7–13 hours to 10–20 minutes. In one area, pre-emptive caching reduced transaction processing from approximately 7 seconds to 0.0003 seconds.
My role combines application development, systems architecture, enterprise integration, database engineering, troubleshooting, and performance optimization. I typically work across the full problem—from understanding operational requirements and existing systems through architecture, implementation, testing, deployment, and ongoing improvement.
Technologies used in my Stanford work include JavaScript, Java, SQL, PHP, Docker, Nginx, Oracle, WebLogic, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Linux, Windows, and COM. -
