Oh dear.
Classic newbie error, but I should still know better than to send a message
to the entire list when I meant it for one person. I guess I have to
introduce myself *now*, don't I? At least you all know I've enjoyed lurking.
My name is Wendy Love Anderson, and I've just started an M.A. program at the
University of Chicago Divinity School. I'm interested in what I've referred
to as "theologies of dissent" on application essays and "medieval Christian
wackos" at cocktail parties. I did quite a bit of undergraduate work on
popular heresies, mostly the Cathars (or Albigensians) in France, but I'm
also fascinated by the vernacular mystics and the interfaces and crossovers
between the two groups. I'm also trying to nudge my field of (very slight)
expertise over to include Christian-Jewish relations in the late medieval
period; the topic has always fascinated me but my college lacked the
resources for me to pursue it.
I was going to wait until I had a genuinely interesting, well-thought-out
question to put before you all, but ... oh well. Apologies all round. And
greetings.
Wend
