In recognition of excellent research and teaching at the School of Humanities, Katherine Hindley (NTU English) has been promoted to Associate Professor with tenure.
Katherine Hindley, an Associate Professor of Medieval Literature, researches on the intersection of medieval literature, manuscript studies, and the history of medicine.
Her latest publication is Textual Magic: Charms and Written Amulets in Medieval England, published by the University of Chicago Press in 2023. It studies words at their most powerful, examining the medieval belief that spoken and written words, in the form of charms and textual amulets, could physically change the world. Through extensive manuscript research, the project demonstrates that charms were deeply rooted in medieval English culture and explores their influence on literary texts including The Book of Margery Kempe and Chaucer's Troilus and Criseyde. This research has been supported by the Medieval Academy of America, the Bibliographical Society of America, and the Josephine de Karman Fellowship, among others.
