Lucy Barnhouse is a Visiting Assistant Professor of History at Wartburg College. Her research focuses on the intersections between legal, religious, and medical history. Her prospective monograph, Houses of God, Places for the Sick, examines the place of hospitals in the religious and social networks of late medieval cities. Her publications include a study of a medical miscellany used in a hospital managed by religious women, and an article on leprosy in the Rhineland for Leprosy and Identity in the Middle Ages: from England to the Mediterranean. Her future research plans include a study of mobility and urban identities in late medieval Central Europe. She has been a podcaster with Footnoting History, on topics including women’s history and medical history, since 2013.
