Mishtooni Bose

Professor Mishtooni Bose is an Associate Professor and Christopher Tower Official Student and Tutor in Medieval Poetry at Christ Church, University of Oxford. Her research focuses on late-medieval intellectual developments, particularly the Wycliffite controversies, and explores how medieval literature (poetry, drama, dialogues) challenged hierarchical academic structures. She examines the intersection of theology, philosophy, and vernacular discourses in works by authors such as Langland, Deguileville, and Christine de Pizan.

Her publications analyze themes like God’s experiential knowledge in Piers Plowman, the role of dialogue in religious drama, and the transmission of ideas through translations. She supervises Masters and DPhil students in medieval literature and theology. No scientific awards are explicitly mentioned, but her work highlights innovative methodologies in medieval textual analysis. She contributes to academic discussions on medieval religious movements, notably Lollardy, and its socio-theological implications.
