Alison Beach’s research focuses on the role of religious women in the Hirsau reform from the eleventh to twelfth centuries. While at the Institute, she will look beyond the narratives of the movement’s monk-historians to write a history of the women of Hirsau that takes them seriously as both agents and subjects of reform.
