Jessica Cochran is a PhD candidate in History at the University of New Mexico. Her interests include Western handwriting, frontiers and borders, animals in the medieval world, and pedagogy in the history classroom. In addition to support from the Bilinski Foundation, her research has also been generously supported by the UNM Institute for Medieval Studies and the UNM Department of History. Jessica regards medieval handwriting as vital to Europe’s tangible and intangible culture. Her dissertation frames European handwriting as a culturally commodified component of medieval life that constantly stood at the crossroads of spiritual, intellectual, and linguistic economies.
