Jennifer K. Lynn serves as a Senior Lecturer and Language Program Director at Dartmouth College, specializing in Latin language instruction and manuscript research. She maintains her office in Reed Hall, Room 312 (HB 6086).
Her academic foundation includes:
- A.B. from Columbia University
- Ph.D. from Columbia University
Dr. Lynn's research centers on Latin Manuscripts, Latin Pedagogy, and Digital Humanities, with particular expertise in medieval liturgical texts like antiphoners and Books of Hours. She directs The Waste Parchment Project, which pioneers methodologies for analyzing repurposed parchment fragments through digital reconstruction and codicological analysis. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges philology, musicology, and conservation science to explore material culture in Renaissance manuscript production.
Her publications reveal consistent engagement with late-medieval codices, emphasizing physical composition and liturgical context. The work demonstrates growing integration of computational tools for fragment reassembly and paleographic analysis across ecclesiastical and devotional manuscripts.
She teaches specialized courses including Latin 10.04 (Latin Palaeography and Manuscripts) and Latin 10.01 (Landscapes of Latin Literature), training students in manuscript transcription and historical contextualization. The Waste Parchment Project operates as her primary research collective, documented through an active Dartmouth-hosted blog featuring collaborative findings on parchment reuse practices.
