About
My name is Lisa L. Spangenberg; I am a digital medievalist, and this is my site. You can find my FTC statement and other site policy wank here.
Since 1992 my personal business card has described me as a Digital Medievalist. It’s the best way I know to describe my training, my occupation, and my interests. You can read a long-winded explanation of what a digital medievalist is here.
The short explanation is that I am trained as a medievalist, and possess a Ph.D. in English. I started studying medieval English literature as an undergraduate, and continued to emphasize things medieval and philological during graduate school, where I studied Medieval Irish and Welsh, among other dead languages. My doctoral dissertation The Games Fairies Play concerns medieval English and Celtic literatures (it’s about medieval fairies as Other, really). You can find my professional site here. I also have an closely related site about things medieval, Celtic, and digital at Celtic Studies Resources; those links in the sidebar on the left for Reading lists, FAQs and the like take you to that site. Right now, you’re looking a Scéla, my blog about things Celtic and medieval.
I tweet as @medievalist; feel free to follow me. I don’t tweet often, so don’t worry about being overwhelmed. I have a tumblr blog I use to quickly link to Medieval and Early Modern resources.
Thanks for stopping by, and feel free to comment.
