Stacie Vos (M.A.R. religion and literature), originally from Michigan, lives in Guilford, Connecticut. At Kalamazoo College, her studies in political science led her to join Teach for America Connecticut as an English teacher. After teaching at a number of grade levels and designing a girls’ mentoring program, she returned to school in 2010 to study English and Education at Smith College. Inspired by her courses in Renaissance literature, particularly those with Bill Oram, she decided to return to school this year as a student at the ISM. She is excited to learn Middle English and to study depictions of women in medieval writings. Her current research explores medieval accounts of hoarders and usurers as figures in economic history and theology.
