Sr Jacob's research focuses on masculinity and sanctity, but she is #TeamNun all the way!

Sister Jacoba Zöll (Germany) -- researching constructions of gender and sanctity in late Medieval Germany. Absolutely Indispensable Organizer of workshops and conferences for AGFEM. #TeamNun loves highly learned and efficient religious women, past and present!

Czére's #TeamNun#TeamNun#WomenInSTEM.

Orsolya Czére - Research Technical Professional whose work in the School of Geosciences at the University of Aberdeen focuses on paleoenvironment and archaeology.

#TeamNun loves research that complicates old narratives of marginalization and decline with evidence of inclusion and flourishing.

Sherri Franks Johnson (USA) -- whose skilled archival work reveals the ways in which women's religious communities in late medieval Bologna successfully negotiated very different places in city, order, and wider church.

#TeamNun loves research that challenges us to see the work of religious women in new ways!

Sally Sara S. Poor (USA) -- outstanding medievalist whose work on thirteenth-century religious woman and mystic Mechthild of Magdeburg took on received notions of female authorship and made us question time-honored assumptions of women's exclusion from the canon of European literature.

Claudia Sutter (Switzerland) -- promising early career historian whose research focuses on the (surprisingly) brisk economic exchange between cloistered women's religious communities in the Late Middle Ages and the outside world. #TeamNun loves enterprising Dominican women!

Hope to see some of you there!
