PROFESSIONAL
PROFILE
Early
modern
intellectual
and
cultural
historian
specialising
in
the
circulation
of
knowledge
between
Italy
,
France
,
and
England
,
1500–1700.
My
research
examines
how
manuscript
networks

epistolary
communities
,
and
printed
texts
shaped
the
development
of
natural
philosophy
,
political
thought
,
and
religious
identity
.
I
combine
traditional
archival
methods
with
digital
approaches
to
recover
the
voices
of
women
and
marginalised
practitioners
.
I
am
committed
to
public
-
facing
scholarship
and
collaborative
research
infrastructure
