Laurel Anne (She/Her) has earned the levels of MA and ABD in the Graduate Program in the History and Theory of Art and Architecture Department at Binghamton University under the advisement of the late Dr. Barbara Abou-El-Haj and Dr. Andrew Walkling. Laurel Anne’s research and teaching interests focus on the patronage of art in the Middle Ages, with an emphasis on secular and religious women. Her most recent work looked at the life of Abbess Hild of Whitby and her patronage of two double monasteries (one monastic community made up of religious men and women) in 7th-century Northumbria at Hartlepool and Whitby in modern-day England.
Laurel Anne has extensive online and in-person teaching experience in subjects such as Medieval Images of Death, Medieval Stained Glass, Art in Medicine, and most notably, Women Patrons of Art in the Middle Ages. In 2019, her efforts earned her a Binghamton University Graduate Student Award for Excellence in Teaching. Living by her motto “lifelong learning”, Laurel Anne is continuing to pursue knowledge in course design and online pedagogy. She has recently obtained her SUNY CPD Brightspace LMS Certificate and is currently working on her SUNY Online Teaching Certificate, which she will earn in Spring 2023.
