Frances Elizabeth Andrews FRHistS is a British historian who is professor of medieval history at the University of St Andrews. She is a specialist in the medieval church and its networks.[1][2][3][4][5]

Life

[edit]

Andrews is the managing editor of Brill's Medieval Mediterranean series and also the series editor for Boydell and Brewer's Studies in the History of Medieval Religion. She was President of the Ecclesiastical History Society (2014–2015).[6]

Her research interests fall into two main areas: medieval Italy and medieval Christianity, with a particular focus on relations between religion and public life, the history of the friars, the Humiliati, and urban history. She is currently writing a monograph on the employment of religious in government and administration.

Beginning in 2019, she led a small team of historians under the aegis of the Royal Historical Society in a new investigation into on the experience of LGBT+ historians and on the teaching of LGBT+ histories in UK universities.[7] She coordinates the 'Women Historians of St Andrews' project, which aims to seek out the women who studied, researched and taught history at St Andrews, at any point in time.[8]
