Profile
Hannah works on the intersection of culture and language, both within a society and between societies. As a Latinist, she focuses on how Latin texts accommodate the ideas and linguistic expressions of other languages in the Early Medieval Period. She is especially interested in theological development resulting from cross-cultural and cross-linguistic contact.
