Teaching: I teach courses on medieval history, English history, the history of popular culture, and women's history.  I also teach Introduction to Women's Studies, plus seminars on peasant history and the history of disease.

Current Research: I am currently working on a book on the ways in which the Black Death of the mid-fourteenth century affected gender systems in late medieval England.
