Bio
Dr. Luckhardt is a medieval historian who received her Ph.D. in Medieval Studies from the University of Notre Dame. Her research focuses on the religious and cultural history of the early Middle Ages (ca. 400 – 1000 AD). She has recently published her first book, The Charisma of Distant Places: Travel and Religion in the Early Middle Ages (London: Routledge, 2020), which explores migration through an examination of religious movement to reveal the diversity of religious travel, from the voluntary journeys of pilgrims to the forced travel of Christian slaves. Her work seeks to understand ideas about power, holiness, identity, and mobility during the transformation of the Roman world in the global Middle Ages.
