I'm Lynn Botelho

Distinguished University Professor and Director of Women's and Gender Studies at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. I'm a historian of old age and aging in early modern England and have been working on the subject since my PhD (Cantab). I've written widely on the subject and I'm currently finishing a book on The Ageing Body:  Old Age, Money, and Medicine in Early Modern England. I've been a US-UK Fulbright Scholar, a Pain Fellow, Birkbeck Pain Project, a Ruth Landes Fellow, and a Keck and Mayers Fellow.

I'm also a competitive fencer and have been a member of the US Fencing World Team for the last 4 years, winning the Bronze Medal in the individual event in 2016 and Team Gold and Silver Medals in 2015 and 2016.
