Nicole Marafioti | Assistant Professor
Nicole Marafioti, who joins our faculty in the fall of 2009 semester, earned her PhD in medieval history from Cornell University. Her research focuses on Anglo-Saxon history, and her current book project investigates how kings’ burials were used in the process of royal succession in tenth and eleventh-century England. She is also co-editing a volume of essays on capital and corporal punishment in Anglo-Saxon England. Her work has recently appeared in Notes and Queries and the Haskins Society Journal.
Dr. Marafioti received a number of teaching awards at Cornell, notably the Arts and Sciences Dean’s Prize for Distinguished Teaching and the Knight Institute’s Recognition of Achievement in Teaching Award. At Trinity, she offers courses on various aspects of the medieval world.
