- About Me
I am currently a PhD student at the University of California, Santa Barbara. I completed my MA in European History at Texas A&M University in 2014, and a BA from the College of Idaho in 2011. My research currently considers the role of food and cuisine in the development and maintenance of various kinds of identity in the British Empire in the eighteenth century. My dissertation is tentatively titled “Food Anxieties and the Development of Colonial Hybrid Identities in the Eighteenth-Century British Atlantic.”
