Interns

Her interests include Austen, psychology, mimetic characters, print culture, and perusing old books that have such fascinating bindings she never gets around to studying the text block.

Her wider research interests include early modern European culture, diplomacy, and the impact of friendship on politics. In her free time, she enjoys kayaking, tea with freshly baked cinnamon rolls, and digging up evidence on dead people in dusty archives.
