Dr. Jennifer Lillian Lodine-Chaffey

Assistant Professor, English, Philosophy & Modern Languages, CLASS

Dr. Lodine-Chaffey has been at MSU Billings since 2022, and is making a mark not only at the university in teaching and mentoring students, but also in scholarly research that looks at the use of narratives related to criminal executions.

Her work focuses on literary and historical understandings of crime, punishment, and death in early modern England. Her scholarly output includes a published book manuscript, 12 peer-reviewed articles, four book chapters in edited collections, and eight book reviews.

In August 2022, the University of Alabama Press published her monograph, A Weak Woman in a Strong Battle: Women and Public Execution in Early Modern England. Subsequently, reviews and notices about her monograph appeared in several academic journals, including Early Modern Literary Studies, the Sixteenth Century Journal, and Renaissance and Reformation.

In the classroom, she helps students think about not only the writing process but understand the historical and cultural context of the works they read.

"Whether teaching students to think about literary works as reflections of their contemporary culture or working with students on designing technical documents, my purpose as an instructor is to help students develop critical thinking and writing skills," she says.

Dr. Lodine-Chaffey has developed new courses at MSUB and has served as the faculty advisor for The Rook, the university s literary and art journal.
