Micah Goodrich, Assistant Professor<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Micah Goodrich\u2019s research explores the triangulation among nature, temporality, and (re)production to formulate a premodern trans theology of embodiment. Professor Goodrich considers how the cultural power of nature is invoked by medieval institutions to control embodiment, specifically the body\u2019s power to create and transform. <\/span><\/p>\n

Christopher Martin, Professor<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0Christopher Martin\u2019s scholarly work in European Renaissance literature has come to focus particularly on age studies or \u201cliterary gerontology\u201d: how old age was understood, misunderstood, and depicted in early modernity, amid the intergenerational politics that shaped period attitudes. An abiding interest in lyric poetry informs his work and his most recent research has taken up the self-conscious gendering that shapes early modern poetry\u2019s lyric performativity and he is currently exploring how male English poets of the seventeenth century found themselves obliged to conceive their art\u2019s \u201cmasculine line\u201d anew in the presence of an emerging company of publishing female writers, whose rich accomplishments he examines more exclusively in his course on early modern women authors. <\/span><\/p>\n
