She obtained her Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in 1997, specializing in Ancient Mediterranean Religions with a focus on Early Christianity, Early Judaism, and Religion in Late Antiquity. Her recent book, 'Sonorous Desert: Deep Listening Taught Early Christian Monks' (Princeton University Press, 2022), investigates how desert sounds have influenced early Christian monasticism, featuring field recordings from desert environments. Haines-Eitzen's other notable works include 'Guardians of Letters: Literacy, Power, and the Transmitters of Early Christian Literature' (Oxford University Press, 2000), which looks at the social history of scribes who copied Christian texts, and 'Gendered Palimpsest: Women, Writing, and Representation in Early Christianity' (Oxford University Press, 2012), which examines the intersection of gender and text transmission. She is actively involved in programs related to Religious Studies, Jewish Studies, Medieval Studies, and Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies at Cornell. In the 2024-25 academic year, she will be a Fellow at the National Humanities Center working on a new project tentatively titled 'Earth, Wind, Fire: Field Guide to the Apocalypse.'
