Long abstractDiscovering a medieval French cloister in the Bahamas was one of the most surprising moments of my first semester of working at The College of the Bahamas (COB), where I thought I cor-nered the market on the Middle Ages. This fourteenth-centu-ry re-formed cloister and the talk given by William Whobrey from Yale was a reminder that the medievalist world is not so small. This closeness was also reminder of my scholarly iden-tity in the midst of the complete and utter difference of my new situation at a college where I am the first and only medievalist. Transitioning from a large R1 university with active medieval programs in history, literature, Spanish, and French to a college whose programs focus on postcolonial Caribbean development was, while not unexpected, still a bit of a shock to my senses. My employment at COB has provided not only a number of unique experiences as faculty but it has also given me a new perspec-tive on teaching medieval literature, as well as opportunities for research and development that would have never arisen if I weren’t a lone medievalist.
