Biography
I'm 28 years old, I own no pets but wouldn't
mind a cat or two, I love chocolate chip cookies, I think that Caffrey's Irish Ale is the nectar of the gods, I'm a gnostic
christo-pagan. I'm also a bisexual feminist. Oh yes, and
I'm terrified of bees.

Current Projects
I am currently finishing a master's degree, as
well as a certificate in Medieval Studies. My master's
thesis incorporates contemporary feminist arguments for/against
sex work and an analysis of a Middle English version of two
saints' lives, Mary of Egypt and Mary Magdalene. I'm
attempting to examine constructions of female sexuality in late
medieval England, as it was perceived by canon law, and
hagiographical texts like the one I'm working on (male- authored).
I'm examining a connection between antisex feminist tropes and
patriarchal constructions of womanhood, i.e., how the persona of
the 'whore' (in my case the repentant prostitute saint genre)
affects/disrupts/resists containment, in the realms of sexuality
and self-description.
