Dr. Lindquist is a medievalist with Merlin and King Arthur in all their incarnations as the center of her academic research. When it comes to research, Lindquist is torn between teaching and scholarly research. The main focus of her research is the Arthurian Legend’s literary texts and its representation in art and film, as well as the influence of XVII century Dutch landscapist in Golden Age Spain. All these themes are greatly received in her Introduction for Medieval, Renaissance, and Golden Age course and several publishing articles.
She delights in serving as the Teaching Class instructor and Coordinator for SPAN 105- Spanish for High Beginners. Her dedication in the classroom is evident as she researches the materials the students receive in her classes, guiding the students to understand the methods, techniques, and strategies the authors use to produce meaning that stimulates the students’ emotions and challenges their belief systems about social and cultural mores and norms so that they can relate them to their personal experience.
Her dedication is also evident in her role as coordinator, ensuring that instructors feel comfortable and supported while pushing them to achieve the excellence of teaching required at UNC.
Currently she is researching the effects of Covid 19 pandemic in students and instructors of foreign languages during the online classes and the re-entering in-person classes.
