Janice Liedl

I'm a professor of history at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario.I write a lot about pop culture and history. I co-edited The Hobbit and History and Star Wars and History along with contributing chapters on Carlisle Cullen to
Twilight and History
(2010) and chapters on women/witches and the government of the wizarding world to
Harry Potter and History
(2011). I've also published on the relationship of history to Battlestar Galactica and science fiction as a genre. Next up is a chapter on the mothers in Game of Thrones and historical mothers in medieval and early modern Europe. Oh, mother of dragons, you ain't seen nothing yet!I also publish conventional histories of people in early modern England. You can read my latest academic history, a study of the downfall of Margaret Pole, in Women During the English Reformations.
