His work with cognitive theory includes his dissertation, Concepts of the Self from Augustine to King Alfred (University of Oregon, 2004), a chapter-length study of the medieval self in Misconceptions About the Middle Ages (Routledge, 2007), presentations of papers on Augustine's Confessions and cognitive creativity in Chaucer, and the co-organization of conference panels on cognitive approaches to medieval literature and the group Medieval Cognitive Literary and Scientific Studies. Professor Ganze has also published on the Old English poem The Wanderer and the Middle English poem Pearl, and is in the process of preparing a manuscript based on his dissertation, which advocates the use of cognitive and phenomenological approaches to medieval self to correct the current predominance of social constructionism.
