Andrea Schutz teaches Medieval English literature at St. Thomas University. She did her Ph.D at the Centre for Medieval Studies, University of Toronto; her dissertation topic was human to animal shapeshifting in medieval literature. She is working on a book about shapeshifting, tentatively entitled "A Sense of Skin and Self: Shapeshifting in Medieval Literature." Her students have begun referring to her as "the nicest werewolf they've had the pleasure of knowing." This is ridiculous; the title obviously belongs to Remus Lupin.
