About
After completing an M.A. as a Mellon Fellow at the University of Toronto, Susanna received her Ph.D. in History in 2006 from the University of Cambridge, where she was a Gates Cambridge Scholar from 2001-2005. Now an Assistant Professor of History at Ursinus College, she is interested in interdisciplinary perspectives on religion, violence, ideology and emotion in the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, particularly in the context of the medieval crusading movement. She has published a number of articles, and in February 2010 a collection of essays she co-edited with Paul Hyams was published -- Vengeance in the Middle Ages: Emotion, Religion, and Feud (Ashgate). Ashgate has just published her first monograph in March 2011 -- Crusading as an Act of Vengeance, 1095-1216.
