 Alexandra
Cuffel
Assistant Professor of History
Professor Cuffel is on leave of absence during 2007-2008.
Alexandra Cuffel received her doctorate in medieval history
from New York University in 2002. Before coming to Macalester
College she was an assistant professor of medieval history
at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University and
a visiting professor at University of Massachusetts, Amherst.
Her research focuses on relations between Jews, Christians
and Muslims during the Middle Ages, specifically on the intersections
of religious polemic, medical theories and gender both in
Western Europe and the Middle East. She has published articles
in Jewish Quarterly Review, Mediterranean Studies, The Bulletin
of the School of Oriental and African Studies, and Medieavalia.
Her first monograph, Gendering Disgust in Medieval Religious
Polemic is coming out in May 2007 with University of Notre
Dame press and she is the co-editor of Gender, Religion and
Culture in the Pre-modern World (Palgrave, 2007). She is
currently working on a new monograph project, Shared Saints
and Festivals among Jews, Christians and Muslims in the Mediterranean
1100-1650, for which she received a research fellowship in
Women’s Studies in Religion at Harvard Divinity School
and a fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies.
She has taught a variety of courses dealing with aspects
of pre-modern Jewish, Christian and/or Muslim history, including
History of Pre-modern medicine, From Ancient Magic to Early
Modern Witchcraft, and Gender and the Divinity in Late Antique
and Medieval Judaism, Christianity and Islam..
