Dr. Stephanie Batkie is a Teaching Associate Professor in the Department of English at the University of the South, where she also serves as Director of the Writing Across the Curriculum Program and Director of the Sewanee Medieval Colloquium. She holds a B.A. in Comparative Literary Studies from Northwestern University and an M.A., Ph.D., and Medieval Studies Certificate from the University of Michigan.
Her research reconstructs medieval political aesthetics through literary analysis, specializing in Middle English, Medieval Latin, and Anglo-Norman texts. She investigates how poetic forms shaped ethical responses to political crises in works by authors like Chaucer, Gower, and Langland. Her current book project traces the origins of political feeling in Anglo-Latin literature, arguing that medieval textual practices prefigured modern political consciousness.
Dr. Batkie has co-edited interdisciplinary volumes including A Companion to New Critical Thinking on Chaucer and is preparing a critical edition of John Gower's Vox Clamantis. At Sewanee, she teaches courses spanning classical literature, medieval/early modern studies, writing pedagogy, and critical theory.
