Research interests

I write about the history of gender and sexuality in medieval Western Europe. I focus on the ways disciplines of knowledge, such as grammar, medicine, and meteorology shaped ideas about gender. As part of this work, I bring medieval sources into contact with modern and contemporary critical theory.

Teaching Interests

I teach widely across medieval literature and culture, as well as critical theory and philosophy.
