Assistant Dean of Faculty for Undergraduate Advising
Senior Lecturer in Religion

Timothy M. Baker studies late antique and medieval religious history and manuscript traditions, with a particular emphasis on high medieval monastic theology and exegesis. He is particularly curious about twelfth- and thirteenth-century Cistercian texts, investigating Cistercian interpretations of the monastery as a sacred space and a sacred bridge between the world of creation and the realm of the divine.

Timothy's courses examine biblical cosmological narratives, the development of Christianity in late antiquity and the Middle Ages, practices of "ascending into God" in medieval Latin Christianity, heresy, authority, and women's roles in the development of Christian spirituality.

As Assistant Dean of Faculty for Undergraduate Advising, Tim organizes faculty advising in the liberal arts, supports educational policy revision, and advocates for more diverse, equitable and inclusive advising that draws upon the abundant skills, interests, and viewpoints of Dartmouth's faculty, staff, and students.
