Nicholas Hoffman is a PhD candidate in medieval literature. His primary research interests include medieval discourses around sexuality, the body, the senses, and Christian epistemology. His dissertation ("Tactile Theology: Gender, Sexuality, and the Sensorium in Medieval Literature") explores the relationship between gender and the sense of touch in a cross-section of texts. He is also interested in how resonances of the medieval past endure in modern culture, particularly among queer activists, theorists, and artists.
