Savoy Curry is a PhD student in the Department of History at Northwestern University in Chicago, working under the supervision of Prof. Dyan Elliott and Prof. David Shyovitz. She is currently a Visiting Research Fellow for the project, "Contending with Crises: Jews in 14th Century Europe" led by Prof. Elisheva Baumgarten. She is a former recipient of the 2022-2023 Leo Baeck Fellowship Program. Savoy’s research interests broadly examine perceptions of medieval sexuality, illicit behavior, criminalization, and communal relations in the high to late Middle Ages. Her dissertation project looks more specifically at Jewish and Christian attitudes towards fornication, sex work, and interfaith sexual relationships in 13th-15th century Ashkenaz, as a means of understanding how both Christian and Jewish communities built religious boundaries in the late Middle Ages.
