Personal Statement and Research
After receiving my M.A. from the Université de Montréal, I completed my Ph.D. at The Johns Hopkins University in 2003. Before coming to Windsor, I taught at the Université de Montréal, the Université du Québec à Montréal, and the Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières.
My dissertation analyzed the formation of a learned community in a major urban center of early modern Europe, that of sixteenth-century Seville. It paid particular attention to the relationship between commerce and culture, as well as the creation of cultural authority. It showed how a group of poets, scholars and erudites, achieved individual and collective recognition through networks of patronage and social, intellectual and textual practices. I am in the process of revising the manuscript for publication in Spain (scheduled for 2008) and North America. My current research, begun while a SSHRC postdoctoral fellow at the Université de Montréal, focuses on the 17th century fate of the Sevillian cultural elite and its rise to the court of Madrid. In another broader project I hope to undertake a complete revision and re-conceptualization of Spanish humanism and its contribution to Early Modern European culture.
My research so far has centered on the cultural, intellectual and religious history of 16th- and 17th-century Spain, with a focus on humanism, royal patronage, and the cultural politics of the Spanish monarchy. However, my areas of interests extend beyond the Iberian Peninsula, to the expansion of the Spanish empire in Latin America and Asia, and the European movement of Renaissance humanism. I am also interested in using art and literature as historical sources.
Teaching and Courses Taught:
Early Modern Europe, Europe and the World, Atlantic History, European Renaissance, Pre-Columbian America and Spanish Conquest
