Expert Profile: Laura Trauth

Expertise: Late medieval and early modern history (AD 1250-1650), especially England AND women`s history in the west from the medieval through the modern periods (AD 1250-1850). I am also knowlegable about general medieval art history and architecture, medieval English literature and the history of disease in human communities. I have a BA in anthropology from the University of Notre Dame (1987), a Master of Humanities degree in Medieval history and literature from Wright State University (1996), and have completed my course work and qualifying exams for the PHD program in history at the Catholic University of America.
I have been a presenter at the International Congress on Medieval Studies several times, as well as at the Novus et Antiquus conference at Ball State U. My greatest challenge is my teaching -- keeping the subject fresh and interesting to students and helping them learn valuable analytic skills as well.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Lots! No historian can ever know everything! But through teaching, research, and volunteering at Allexperts, I continue to learn more about the past and bring it all together in a ways that reveal larger patterns of human behaviour throughout time.

What do you like about this subject? The late middle ages and early modern period was a time of great change in europe. Out of all this change the "modern" world we all know began to emerge. Studying this process of change reveals a great deal about how our world became what it is today.
