Biography

Roisin Cossar came to the University of Manitoba in 1999 to teach and research medieval history. As an archival historian, she has worked extensively in sites in Northern Italy, including Venice, Florence, and smaller centers like Ferrara. She is a dedicated teacher with a notable interest in pedagogy. Cossar's research focuses on the social history of the medieval Christian church, especially the relationship between ecclesiastical culture and the secular world in cities of late medieval Italy. She is particularly interested in critical archival studies and the use of digital tools in premodern scholarship. Her recent publications include a monograph titled 'Clerical Households in Late Medieval Italy' (Harvard, 2017) and various articles discussing concepts such as seasons in late medieval Italy and the domesticity of women lived by clerics in Northern Italy.
