Scott MacKenzie

Teaching Associate Professor

Scott MacKenzie currently serves as a Teaching Associate Professor of Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse Language and Literature in the Department of English at the University of Tennessee. With over 15 years of experience in higher education, he has established himself in the field of early medieval literature and culture. His research has focused on the intersection of language, literature, and culture in medieval England and Scandinavia, exploring ways in which literature reflects and shapes social and political identities. His current research investigates the sometimes-fluid role of Anglo-Saxon and Norse women in 10th century England. His commitment to advanced student learning includes work with the Chancellor’s Honors program where he has directed several theses. Recent titles include “Female Warriors: Judith, Grendel’s Mother, and Gender in Anglo-Saxon England” and “Vikings, Anglo-Saxons, and England: The Germanic revival of the 9th, 10th, and 11th centuries.”
