About Us

Dr. Eichbauer is a medievalist specializing in legal and ecclesiastical history from c.1000 to c.1500. Her research interests focus on legal pluralism and the evolution of legal principles. She is particularly interested in the dissemination of legal knowledge; the interpretation of law; and the ways in which social, political, and intellectual developments and trends shaped both during the height of the medieval period. By examining the larger processes linking law to the world in which it functions, her hope is to show new ways of thinking about current issues. She has published articles in legal history journals and have published works with Cambridge University Press, Routledge, Brill, and Ashgate. She was also a fellow for the American Council of Learned Societies from 2016 to 2018. 

David Blikstad graduated from FGCU in 2022 with a B.A. in History and a Minor in Medieval and Early Modern Studies. His conference presentations center on the leadup to the Division of Korea at the 38^th Parallel. He also has served as an editorial assistant for monograph projects in Medieval Legal History.
