Elena Woodacre

Dr Elena (Ellie) Woodacre is a Reader in Renaissance History at the University of Winchester, UK. She began her undergraduate studies in her native USA and completed her BA in Humanities with Classical Studies with the OU after she moved to the UK. She received an MA in Medieval Studies (with Merit) from the University of Reading in 2006 and shortly thereafter began her doctoral studies at Bath Spa University. Her PhD thesis was titled ‘The Queens of Navarre 1274-1512: Succession, Politics and Partnership and focussed on issues surrounding female rule, matrimonial politics and the relationship between reigning queens and consort kings’. Her recent research has investigates the female kinship network between four queens who were all first cousins at the turn of the 16th century, the life of Joan of Navarre, consort queen of England and various aspects of queenship and royal studies. She joined the History Department at Winchester in 2012 and was until recently the Faculty Coordinator for Postgraduate Research Degrees. Elena is the organiser of the ‘Kings & Queens’ conference series and the founder of the Royal Studies Network, a resource that aims to bring together scholars who work on monarchical topics to enable them to collaborate and share information on their research. Follow the RSN on Twitter.

Her teaching interests include issues related to gender and power, the Renaissance and the political and cultural history of Early Modern Europe, particularly France, Spain and Italy. Her area of specialism is queenship and royal studies. In Sept. 2018, she will be presenting workshops on medieval queens aimed at children aged 7-11, as part of the Winchester Heritage Open Days. Find out more.
