Tarren Andrews
Tarren Andrews is Assistant Professor in Ethnicity, Race, and Migration. She received her Ph.D. in English from the University of Colorado, Boulder and has graduate certificates in Native American and Indigenous Studies; Culture, Language, and Social Practice; and College Teaching. Her scholarship employs critical Indigenous studies to re-evaluate and re-narrativize stories of the early medieval North Atlantic (pre-1100). Her forthcoming book takes a transtemporal approach to law and literature, re-examining legal and literary artifacts from the early medieval North Atlantic—like the Domesday Book (England, ca. 1085), the Treaty of Alfred and Guthrum (England, ca. 878), and the Old English poem The Wife’s Lament (ca. 10th century)—alongside resonant documents and stories from Turtle Island (North America) including the Dawes Act of 1887, the Hellgate Treaty of 1859, and the Canadian Indian Act of 1876. This work seeks to find origins of Anglophone settler colonial logics as they are manifested in U.S. and Canadian settler law to better understand how we might imagine anticolonial futures. She has an essay forthcoming in Exemplaria comparing medieval settler and Indigenous approaches to slipstream sci-fi writing. Titled “Harold and Custer on the Slipstream,” this essay argues for the inherent hope offered by Indigenous storytelling. In addition to these projects, Dr. Andrews is also passionate about language revitalization and translation. She contributed the opening lines (ln. 1-12) in the 2021 translation of Beowulf by All. The citation for this “reservation translation” includes the Flathead Indian Reservation where Tarren grew up, which she credited as a co-author to honor the relationship between land and language. Dr. An=drews is the assistant medieval editor for The Sundial, a public-facing publication venue hosted by the Arizona Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies.

Emily Thornbury
Emily V. Thornbury is a scholar of Old English and Anglo-Latin literature, with a particular interest in early theories of aesthetics. She joins the English department from the University of California at Berkeley. Her first book, Becoming a Poet in Anglo-Saxon England (Cambridge UP, 2014) explored how and why people set about composing verse in England prior to the Norman Conquest. Whether in English or Latin, the Anglo-Saxons’ poetry was enmeshed in the social circumstances in which it was composed, and reveals the ways that communities—or their absence—continually shaped and reshaped poets’ ideas of form and their expectations for what their art could achieve. Presently, Thornbury is working on a book called The Virtue of Ornament, which traces the nonclassical, largely untheorized aesthetic principles of Anglo-Saxon art and literature through a series of productive encounters with Classical forms. Ornament—understood in Classical aesthetics mainly as an extraneous overlay or elaboration, but by Anglo-Saxons as a transformative act—provides an entryway into a world of thought in which surface and depth, proportion, symmetry, and value itself had very different meanings. By understanding how ornament worked for the Anglo-Saxons, we can glimpse alternative ways of reading, seeing, and understanding art.

Eric Weiskott
Eric Weiskott is Professor of English at Boston College, where he teaches and writes about poetry and poetics. He is the author of Meter and Modernity in English Verse, 1350-1650 (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2021) and English Alliterative Verse: Poetic Tradition and Literary History (Cambridge University Press, 2016), which won the 2018 English Association Beatrice White Prize. With Irina Dumitrescu, he edited The Shapes of Early English Poetry: Style, Form, History (Medieval Institute Publications, 2019). He edits the Yearbook of Langland Studies with Alastair Bennett and Katharine Breen. His current monograph project, Unheard Melodies: Apophatic Poetics in English Literature, concerns the paradoxical power of English literature, from Beowulf to Claudia Rankine, to represent what literature cannot represent: novels no one can read, lyrics no one can hear, syllables no one can pronounce, spaces no one can inhabit, experiences no one can have, and more. A separate series of notes and articles in progress reconsiders the Latin poetry of John Gower.

Wesley Chihyung Yu
Wesley Yu is an associate professor of English at Mount Holyoke College. He regularly teaches courses on Old and Middle English literary genres and authors. In both his writing and teaching, Yu is interested in the range of ways that poetic traditions can contextualize our understanding of medieval perception and reasoning. His research inquires about the possible contributions of poetics to shifts in intellectual history, given the interdisciplinary nature of the medieval language arts. Taken in coordination with each other, how do poetics and argumentation together offer up a sense of a medieval epistemology? Yu’s work studies the medieval trivium, with attention to rhetoric and dialectic especially, to ask what the medieval discourse about language may suggest about the shared relationships between argumentation and poetic craft. He has written on early treatments of allegory and on literary uses of argumentation in the Middle Ages.

Martin Foys
Martin Foys is the Nancy C. Hoefs Professor of English at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He was previously a Senior Lecturer in pre-1300 English at King’s College London, and has held posts at Drew University, Hood College and Florida State University. He is a past Executive Director for the International Society for the Study of Early Medieval England (formerly ISAS), and is the current Director of Graduate Studies at UW-Madison. He currently directs the Old English Poetry in Facsimile project (2018-) a ten-year initiative to re-edit the entire corpus of Old English poetry to digital facsimiles, and Digital Mappa, an open-source platform for digitally annotating, linking and publishing collections of digital images and texts, among numerous other digital humanities initiatives.
Beginning with the publication of The Bayeux Tapestry Digital Edition (2003, 2013) and then Virtually Anglo-Saxon: Old Media, New Media, and Early Medieval Studies in the Late of Print (2007), Martin’s scholarship has continued to explore pre- and post-Conquest England, with special attention to the intersection of literature and other visual, material, technological and media modes of cultural expression – e.g. maps, tapestries and sculpture, and, most recently, more ephemeral and abstracted aspects of early medieval English expressive production – auditory culture, technological alteration of bodies, transliteracies and ecologies of media forms, and the process of temporal decay or obsolescence, with much digital humanities theory and praxis in the mix.
Recent scholarship includes work on widows, witchcraft and medieval real estate deals (2018), editing a digital cohort of early medieval maps for the British Library (2018), the remanence of medieval media, human bodies and digital technology (2018), identifying three Anglo-Carolingian texts previously unknown in pre-Conquest England (2017), a bilingual edition (Latin and Old English) of an early medieval treatise on bells (2017-2019), Old English riddles and anxieties of knowledge (2018), media archaeology and manuscript studies (2015), and a sensual philology for early medieval England (2014).
