About meGrad student who is old enough to know better, Mom who is young enough to rock out with the greatest little boy in the world. Pretty much an atheist, but with an abiding love for mythology, art, cathedrals, and medieval history. Counter culture enough to maybe get in just a bit of trouble, but wise enough to know how (or perhaps when) not to.
I have a BA in Humanities/Religious Studies (magna cum), with a Jewish Studies minor. I wrote my honors thesis on Evolution, Patriarchy, and the Sexual Politics of the Religious Right, and then went on to dive head-first into the Middle Ages.
I'm now working on my MA in Humanities/Religious Studies, and a graduate certificate in Medieval and Renaissance Studies. My focus is (currently) on Christianity and its minorities in western medieval Europe and related topics.
Why Religious Studies for a non-theist academic like me? Read this. Cheers!
About my libraryMy library includes most everything (or will when I get it all in) except 'frivolous fiction.' I have included fiction that is not particularly 'literature' only if it is significant to me in some way.

I moved last year so I haven't had a chance to enter all of my books...seems like my shelves are always a work in progress!
Yes, I did my Medieval Studies here, at Northern Illinois University. My advisor, Valerie Garver, is brilliant and has her first book coming out this month..it's very exciting! I wouldn't recommend NIU for a PhD; there is only one other medivialist, in the Art History department (although she is also great) and I think two in the English department. Loyola has a great program though as does University of Chicago. I dream of going back someday for my Masters - although my latin and French are painfully rusty!
