E. Alice Grissom
E. Alice Grissom graduated from Fordham’s Medieval Studies MA program in 2023, and embarks on a PhD in English at Rutgers University in the fall. While a student at Fordham, Alice first volunteered for Medieval New York and then worked as the student project manager for the Barnard’s Cloisters component. Outside of digital humanities and medievalisms, their research centers on the role of textual embodiment and the material in social identity formation and categorization, particularly though a focus on bodies inscribed in Old and Middle English literature.

Mark graduated from the Medieval Studies program at Fordham in 2023. He will be continuing on at Fordham in the fall of 2023, beginning a PhD in English with a concentration in medieval literature. He brings to Medieval New York his many years of private sector experience in software development and testing, which he used in beta testing an early version of the extended reality app.

Grace Campagna
Grace began working with Medieval New York as part of a summer project in 2021 during her first year of the Medieval Studies Master’s program. Along with Christina Bruno and Katherina Fostano, she helped conceptualize an updated framework for Medieval New York after inheriting the idea from previous initiatives at the Center for Medieval Studies. She designed and tested initial versions of itineraries, organized the project’s first events, and managed the project’s digital presence through the spring of 2022. Although she is no longer working in academia, she is eagerly following Medieval New York’s progress!

I am a doctoral candidate in the History Department at Fordham University. Under the direction of Dr. Nicholas Paul, my research explores the role of Jerusalem in the political culture of medieval Iberia, particularly the kingdoms of Castile-León and Aragon-Catalonia, from the twelfth to early sixteenth centuries. But I’m just as interested in the Middle Ages today as in the premodern world, which is why I was excited to join Medieval New York. I contributed to the project’s early stages by presenting on and photographing the medieval aspects of sites like Woodlawn Cemetery, various churches, the New York Public Library, and the Hispanic Society of America.
