Medieval European History


Lecturer

I am a lecturer in the History Department and the Writing Program. I have taught classes cross-listed with the Department of Feminist Studies and developed a World History course called “Plague in the Pre-modern World.” Interdisciplinary research is important to me, particularly developing the language tools necessary to communicate across disciplines and to a broader, non-academic community. Therefore I work with the Medieval Studies Program at UCSB and teach Academic Writing 2lk and an Interdisciplinary Writing Workshop for graduate students.
