Edith Lagarde

Graduate Fellow, 2022-24

Edith Lagarde is a third-year Ph.D. student in the History department at Notre Dame. While she enjoys studying most areas of medieval history, she is primarily interested in the religious, intellectual, and cultural history of the Medieval Mediterranean. In particular, her research focuses on papal communications with the Eastern Christian churches in Armenia and the Levant throughout the twelfth- and thirteenth-centuries, as well East-West relations more broadly. Through this research, she hopes to explore different understandings of ecclesiology within the medieval church, as well as the larger political and religious environment shaped by these communications.
