Nichols

Bio
I am a doctoral candidate primarily focused on the medieval period. My current research engages issues of clerical authority, lay reading practices, and theological texts written in the vernacular in thirteenth and fourteenth century England. Other interests of mine include scholasticism, literacy studies, medieval vernacularity, devotional literature, saints' lives, Chaucer, Langland, and science fiction. 
 

Benson

I received my B.A. in English from Hillsdale College and my M.St. in English Literature (650-1550) from St. Hilda's College at the University of Oxford. I am a medievalist and a codicologist. My primary research interests are Early Middle English literature, late 12th and early 13th century manuscript culture, and the interaction of English and Anglo-Norman in post-Conquest Britain.

Churchill

Bio:
Katherine Churchill studies and teaches medieval literature. Her dissertation project, The Archival Turn: Poetry and Posterity in Late Medieval England and France, traces how changes in the storage and organization of texts transformed representations of posterity and futurity in literary writing in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In addition to her work on media history and cultural memory, she also studies virginity, gender, and nineteenth-century medievalism.
 

Watts

Courtney is a medievalist interested in the medieval romance. She was a Medieval Colloquium representative from 2019-2021 and received an All-University Graduate Teaching Award in 2021. Courtney's work explores how medieval romances use topoi to experiment with kinde, medieval notions of nature and identity.
