Eliza Buhrer is a cultural historian, whose work explores intersections between the histories of medicine, law, and knowledge in premodern Europe. She recently began a new position as a Teaching Associate Professor at Colorado School of Mines, fulfilling a long-held dream of living in the mountains, and previously worked as a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Loyola University New Orleans, and an Assistant Professor of History at Seton Hall University. She has published on intellectual disability in medieval law and culture and has forthcoming essays on how medieval jurists imagined monstrosity and how medieval society conceptualized learning difficulties. She is currently working on a book on the cultural history of attention and distraction.
