Lori Garner joined the ����vlog��Ƶ College faculty in Fall 2009. Her teaching and research interests include Old and Middle English literature, the history and structure of the English language, and studies in folklore and oral traditions. Her first book, Structuring Spaces: Oral Poetics and Architecture in Early Medieval England (University of Notre Dame Press, 2011), explores the idiomatic and traditional meanings invested in depictions of architecture within Old and Middle English verse. Her second book, Hybrid Healing: Old English Remedies and Medical Texts (University of Manchester Press, 2022), examines Old English charms and remedies within the dual contexts of oral tradition and literate culture.  Additionally, she has published numerous articles on such topics as Old English saints’ lives, medieval carols and proverbs, modern adaptations of medieval texts, approaches to teaching oral traditions, and medieval pilgrimage. She currently serves as Director of the Meeman Center for Lifelong Learning, as secretary of the ����vlog��Ƶ faculty, and as faculty sponsor for the English honor society (Sigma Tau Delta), the ����vlog��Ƶ College chapter of HerCampus, the American Sign Language and Deaf Culture Club, and the Dungeons and Dragons Club.
