Christine Cooper Rompato

Christine Cooper Rompato serves as a Professor in the Department of English within the College of Arts & Sciences at Utah State University. Her academic profile bridges medieval literary scholarship with regional Utah history, demonstrating exceptional interdisciplinary range across historical periods and methodological approaches.

Her research spans Medieval Studies, Gender Studies, Religious Studies, History of Science, Utah History, and Linguistics. She investigates medieval English sermons through lenses of gender, sin, numeracy, and multilingualism while simultaneously documenting Utah's historical landscape—particularly women inventors, segregation practices, and 19th-century professional contributions in dentistry and embroidery. This dual focus creates a unique scholarly identity connecting medieval European studies with American Western history.

Analysis of her 2014-2024 publications reveals consistent engagement with medieval sermon studies (examining lust in the Book of Tobit, xenoglossia in Pentecost sermons, and sensory experiences in hagiography) alongside distinctive Utah-focused research (Green Book segregation analysis, women inventors in Utah Territory, and Kate D. Barron Buck's dentistry-embroidery work). Her methodology consistently merges literary analysis with historical research, gender theory, and cultural studies across diverse subjects from medieval numeracy to African American travel experiences.
