Abby Riehl

I am an early medievalist interested in the gendered identities of the Carolingian aristocracy, and particularly how education and the ways that people took care of their bodies influenced those identities. I completed my undergrad at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alberta and my masters in medieval studies at Trinity College Dublin, researching attitudes towards medicine in the Carolingian Empire. My wider research interests include Christian mysticism, history of medicine, and manuscript studies.
