Joe’s primary academic interests center on the world of medieval Europe. While working on his BA in History (Saint Louis University, 2013) and his MA in Medieval History (University of Missouri, 2016), he enjoyed studying religion and the monastic experience and grew to love the (sometimes infuriating) Latin language and medieval paleography. Outside of the university, he likes to cook with his boys, spin records, and give his cat, Ralphie, quality belly and head scratches.
