Professional/Academic Experience

Associate Professor, English, University of Northern Colorado

Research/Areas of Interest

Prof. Bovaird-Abbo's areas of special interest include medieval language and literature, particularly Middle English and Arthurian studies, and she regularly teaches classes on Old English, Middle English, History of the English Language, Linguistics, the Arthurian Legend (medieval to modern), and J. R. R. Tolkien.

Her current research project explores the effects of gender and class on depictions of the Arthurian character of Gawain in fourteenth- and fifteenth-century Middle English romances, particularly in terms of Gawain鈥檚 interactions with women and younger knights, as a reflection of changing values among the English gentry.
