About Meghan Woolley

I am a historian of law and culture in the High Middle Ages. My research examines the roles of emotions in the aristocratic culture of Anglo-Norman England, particularly the intersections of emotions with politics and law. My current book project analyzes the roles of emotions and emotional bonds like friendship within English law in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries. To find out more, please visit my research page.

I teach medieval history, pre-modern world history, and academic writing. My goals as a teacher are to immerse students in historical sources and to empower them as writers and thinkers. You can find helpful links and handouts for teaching medieval history, researching medieval law, and doing academic writing on my resources page. 

I am an Assistant Professor in the History Department at Idaho State University, where I work with undergraduate and graduate students on medieval and premodern history.
