Dr. Karant-Nunn, Regents' Professor Emerita, was the director of the University of Arizona Division for Late Medieval and Reformation Studies from 2001-2017. Dr. Karant-Nunn is an expert on Early Modern Europe, Germany and The Reformation. Her books have influenced the field of Reformation history—so much so that a leading French early modernist, Professor Bernard Roussel of the Sorbonne, in 1997 entitled a plenary lecture:  “A la manière de Susan Karant-Nunn:  réflexions sur la réforme du rituel dans l’espace francophone” [“In the Manner of Susan Karant-Nunn:  Reflections on the Reformation of Ritual in the Francophone Lands”].
