Amanda Platz’s research examines the long medieval era, and on occasion the early modern period. Currently, she focuses on late medieval religion, environmentalism, and gender. She is currently writing a dissertation tentatively titled “A Storm is Brewing: Medieval Holy Women and Weather in Late-Medieval England,” which examines late Medieval holy women’s use of or relationship to Weather in their writing and experience. She is interested in the environmental humanities, adaptations and retellings of medieval and early modern literature, gender and women’s studies in medieval literature, and medieval religion and the supernatural.
