Anita Obermeier has taught over twenty different undergraduate and graduate courses in medieval language and literature as well as other British and world literature topics since 1992 when she earned her Ph.D. at Arizona State University. She has written on Arthurian literature, Beowulf, Chaucer, Susan Faludi, Hildegard von Bingen, Jean de Meun, Marguerite de Navarre, Petrarch, Naomi Mitchison, Braveheart, Twain, and saints Anne and Joachim. Her research interests include authorial self-representations, feminist approaches, intertextuality, medieval medical writing, medievalism, mystics, saints, and women, some of which culminated in her comparative book, The History and Anatomy of Auctorial Self-Criticism in the European Middle Ages (1999). Her new book project is a medical, historical, theological, and literary study titled, Seed, Sex, Superiority: Medieval Concepts of Fertility and Sterility, and partially funded by grants from the UNM Research Allocation Committee and the Feminist Research Institute.
