Attraction to Kent State University as an Employer: The university is a wide-open institutional space that allows new ideas to circulate. It is also a space that challenges what we think of as education and offers various ways to learn that can expand our future and redirect the present. I think of the university as an opportunity for anyone to grow, learn, and be challenged.

In the process, students also challenge us to rethink our own ideas.

Cultural Primitivism registers the discontent of the civilized with civilization and proclaims that a simpler life, usually seen as a former or "golden" age, is desirable. My interdisciplinary project disputes the scholarly model posited by Richard Bernheimer in Wild Men in the Middle Ages , which traces the emergence of the competing cultural concepts of "civility" and "primitivism" in Western Europe to a turning point in the late 14c.

Using the evidence of of 12 th and 13 th -century French literary texts and visual images, I trace the trajectory of the appearance of and developing medieval attitudes toward the mythic "Wild People," whose "wildness" contributed an antithesis necessary for the West's developing notion of "civilization.
