I have been part of this list before but am now joining the list in a different context. I am a graduate student at Princeton Theological Seminary. My primary interest is in monastic history, particularly double monasteries of the twelfth century. I completed my undergraduate thesis on Gilbertine communities and got some great ideas for that thesis from this list (a belated thank you to everyone). I am also interested in perceptions of death and death rituals and notions of wilderness. Recently, I spent a month at a Carmelite monastery and compared their contemporary understanding of wilderness with that of their Carmelite fathers. %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
