Rachael Gillibrand is a PhD student in the Institute for Medieval Studies at the University of Leeds. Drawing upon her background in both history and art history, her research focuses upon physical impairment and the non-conformist body and between c. 1400 and c. 1600—particularly, the design, production and function of disability aids in the late medieval West. She is passionate about making her research accessible to a diverse audience and, as a result, she recently featured as a guest speaker on the KNFX radio show Healthy Vision, where she spoke about medieval attitudes towards blindness and the invention of spectacles.
