Ann Marie Rasmussen
I was born in Redmond, Oregon and received my Bachelor of Arts from the University of Oregon and PhD from Yale University, both in the field of Germanic Languages and Literatures. I live in North Carolina.
I am Professor of German emerita from Duke University, where I was a faculty member in the Department of Germanic Languages and Literature for twenty-five years (1988-2014). I recently retired from my position as the Right Honourable John G. Diefenbaker Memorial Chair in German Literary Studies at the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada (2015-2024).
My areas of expertise are medieval studies, German studies, and gender studies. Over the past decade, I have worked in the field of material culture, focussing on medieval badges.
