Jordan Skinner is a Postdoctoral Research Assistant in Chaucer Studies at the University of Geneva. He earned his doctoral degree in the Department of English at Princeton University. His research focuses on medieval poetry and is informed by his interests in linguistics, legal history, and philosophy. His dissertation, Medieval Curfew: Poetic Space and the Governance of Time, reconsiders the relationship between law and literature by examining how medieval nocturnal restrictions shaped urban policing, forbidden pleasure, and the construction of the working day. Before Geneva, he was a Teaching Transfer Associate at Princeton's McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning and has taught at the Prison Teaching Initiative.
