President | Greta Smith
Greta is a third year PhD studying English Literature. Her research interests include literature from the Middle Ages and early Renaissance, particularly the prevalence of Aesops fables in the literature from these time periods, and the ways that usage of the fable shows a developing culture of literacy, as well as celebrating an oral past. When not doing that, she spends most of her time riding her horse, or taking care of her other animals, including goats, sheep, cows and chickens.
