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.

Zenz

I graduated with a B.A. from the University of California, Berkeley in 2017. Before that I was a teaching artist in California. Current interests include narrative theory, affect studies, print culture, and 19th c. American and British literature

Sonthalia

I am an international student from India, and before coming to UVA, I did my master's in liberal studies, with a concentration in English, at Ashoka University. I am interested in the everyday, the domestic, the boring and how our identities mediate our experiences and beings in these spaces. The approach I take to these questions, and to scholarship in general, is firmly interdisciplinary. At UVA, I have been a Democracy Initiative Graduate Seminar Fellow and have completed the Women, Gender, and Sexuality Graduate Certificate.

Robinson

I am a PhD candidate in English studying early modern literature. My dissertation project, "Peculiar Miracles: Pastoral Space and Queer Time in English Literature, 1570-1670," explores the unruly desire(s) generated by pastoral temporalities in works by Philip Sidney, Mary Wroth, William Shakespeare, and Katherine Philips. More generally, my research interests include women's writing, translation, devotional writing, and adaptation.
