Tamara Stasik holds degrees from Indiana University (Ph.D), Saint John’s University (M.A,), the University of Toronto (M.A.), and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (B.A.).  She enjoys teaching courses in literature and composition for majors and non-majors, as well as academic literacy and composition for multi-lingual students.  Her research interests include medieval manuscripts, book history, and the use of asceticism as a mode of cultural and literary production. Her Ph.D. dissertation in Medieval English Literature investigated the adaptation of ascetic practice from the monastic cell to medieval society in manuscripts such as Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales.  Her current work investigates the intersections of medieval studies and the digital humanities and includes student-faculty research.
