Course Instructor Background My name is Lisa Lackner and I am a Ph.D. Candidate in the Languages and Literacies program (LLE) at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE).

I analyze scenes of reading and other representations of reading within medieval texts to examine this evolving cultural practice during the technological, cultural, scientific, and religious transformations of the European Middle Ages. Amid the digitalization of our modern reading practices and reading cultures, my research into the literary representations of reading demonstrates how, historically, reading practices, developments in media and technology, and imaginative literature have shaped the practice of reading as well as its function in society. The Futures of the Medieval World This transdisciplinary project explores the cultural practices of the European Middle Ages that engaged and engendered conceptions of the future.
