Mori, Jennifer, D.Phil., Oxford
Associate Professor, St. George Campus
(416) 978-8745

Office: SS 3072
Field: Early modern Britain and Europe, political, diplomatic, intellectual history, history of scienceProfessor Mori’s research interests lie in the “new” political and intellectual histories of seventeenth and eighteenth century Britain and Europe: by which is meant topics from the infrastructure of the early modern court and the social dimensions of diplomatic ritual to the mentalités of rioters and the intellectual connections between elite and popular culture.  She has published extensively on the history of Britain and the French Revolution, and is finishing a book project on the political culture of British diplomacy in Europe between 1750 and 1830.  She prepares students for fields in early modern British and/or European history with an eighteenth century focus, and is starting new research on the tangled webs of English belief about the natural world, both “rational” and “superstititious,” that underlay the advent of the Enlightenment.
