Jenny Adams is an Associate Professor of English at UMass Amherst. She holds a Ph.D. and an A.M. in English Literature from the University of Chicago, and a B.A. in English Literature and French Language and Literature from UCLA. Her current research focuses on academic debt and university life in late medieval England. To this end she is working on a monograph provisionally titled “Degrees of Collateral: Books, Borrowing, and the Business of Medieval Oxford.” She has published on this topic in The Library, New College Notes, and Writers, Editors, and Exemplars in Medieval Texts. Her work also appears in a short, popular piece, “The History of Student Loans Goes Back to the Middle Ages” which she wrote for The Conversation (March 2016).
