Mahel Hamroun
Lecturer, Civic, Liberal, and Global Education
BioMahel Hamroun (she/her) is a historian of the European Middle Ages and a Lecturer in Civic, Liberal, and Global Education (COLLEGE). As a historian, she works at the intersection of legal history, religious studies, and history of emotions, with a particular interest in comparative cultures of guilt. She has written and taught on a wide range of topics, including law and legal community in the medieval North, histories of sin and penance, and European understandings of salvation and damnation with respect to various perceived 'others'. She recently completed her doctorate at the University of California, Berkeley, where her research explored the role of penance in the secular laws of medieval Iceland and Norway. Future projects, including her forthcoming first book, will continue to focus on themes of culpability and legal and religious entanglement, both within and beyond the borders of Europe.
