Dr Emma Nuding is a Lecturer at the Centre for Medieval Studies, University of York. She completed her PhD at the same institution in 2022, focusing on St Guthlac of Crowland. Her academic journey includes studies at the University of Cambridge and King’s College London, complemented by a PGCE from the University of Bristol and ongoing pursuit of an Associate Fellowship of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).
Her research bridges medieval and modern literary traditions, with a focus on ecopoetics, queer medievalisms, and hagiographic narratives. Current projects include a monograph on Fenland Pilgrimage and a pioneering study titled Lesbian Medievalisms, which explores medieval cultural reception in queer women’s 20th-century writing. Her work often integrates interdisciplinary methodologies and challenges period-specific academic silos.
Emma’s publications reflect her diverse interests: from Anglo-Latin hagiography to eco-critical analysis of fenland texts, and pedagogical strategies for teaching Old English. Her recent articles examine intersections between medieval relics and Romantic-era tourism, medievalist motifs in modern literature, and queer reinterpretations of medieval tropes.
Scientific awards highlight her excellence: the Laura Bassi Scholarship (2022), York Humanities Research Centre Fellowship (2021), Wolfson Postgraduate Scholarship (2018), and Seton-Cavendish Book Prize (2013). She actively contributes to academic communities as a peer reviewer for Brepols Publishers and member of organizations like Teachers of Old English in Britain and Ireland (TOEBI) and Disinventing Old English (DOE).
As a medieval language consultant, Emma collaborates with heritage institutions (Bath Abbey), media projects (BFI-backed director), and creative industries (BAFTA-winning screenwriter), demonstrating her commitment to public engagement and interdisciplinary applications of medieval studies.
