Research Interests: My research interests are cultural, gender, and women's history in Early Modern Europe. I am currently researching my dissertation on cheap print culture in Early Modern Britain (England and Scotland, 1660-1800). In addition to my present work, I have written on the Whiteboy Movements in late 18th century Ireland and the role of the beaver hat in 17th century World History. Although my dissertation research will be focused on the British Isles I have long standing interests in women in Weimar Republic, the history of film, performance and performativity in history, and Jewish History of all sorts.
Teaching Focus: My two teaching fields are broadly described as Early Modern Europe and World Jewish History. Within both fields I incorporate the histories of women, gender, religion, and art. I am especially interested in patterns of exchange (of commodities, ideas, people) across space and time, resulting in an approach that is frequently comparative and attempts to break up the idea of an insular nation-state approach to history. This summer I had the opportunity to co-lecture in the course HIS 2C-01 "World History Through Food".
Dissertation Title: A Notorious Account of Thieves, Murderers, and Sporting Ladies: Representations of Crime and Criminality in English and Scottish Broadsides, 1660-1880 |
