Dr. Brown’s teaching and research interests include medieval literature in Middle English, Middle Scots, Anglo-Norman, and Latin, as well as literary and feminist theory. Her book Three Women of Ličge: A Critical Edition of and Commentary on the Middle English Lives of Elizabeth of Spalbeek, Christina Mirabilis, and Marie d'Oignies was published in 2008 by Brepols Publishers in their series "Medieval Women: Texts and Contexts." Dr. Brown's research and publications focus on medieval devotional literature written by, for, and about women. Her most recent work has been on the 12th-century Lives of Edward the Confessor written in Latin and Anglo-Norman, especially that by the anonymous Nun of Barking Abbey. She has published articles in Magistra: A Journal of Women’s Spirituality in History, Medieval Feminist Forum, the Journal of the History of Sexuality, as well as several edited collections. Currently, she is co-editing a book on Barking Abbey and working on Catherine of Siena's tradition in medieval England. Dr. Brown writes and edits the "Medieval Women's Writing" and “Middle Scots Poetry” chapters of the annual Year's Work in English Studies (Oxford University Press). She also wrote and edited the "Middle Ages" chapter for the Instructor's Guide to the Norton Anthology of Western Literature. In addition, she is the Vice President of the Medieval Club of New York.
