MOLINA FELLOW IN THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE & ALLIED SCIENCES
Kristen Block, Associate Professor, University of Tennessee, Knoxville
Topic: Holistic Medicine, Spiritual Healing, and Dis-ease in the Early Caribbean
Kristen Block is Associate Professor of History and the Program Director of Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the University of Tennessee. Her research has focused geographically on the Caribbean–arguably the epicenter of colonial competition in the early modern Americas. Her second book project, Holistic Medicine, Spiritual Healing, and Disease in the Early Caribbean, explores how residents of the region defined disease and contagion--and how conflict and hybridity influenced their attempts at healing. Today’s rising interest in holistic medicine from both Western scientific establishments and a range of spiritual communities brings to mind what was once commonly accepted by all people--that a person’s mind, body, and spirit are inextricably linked. She intends to study those links without privileging science over religion, learned over “folk” therapies. As in her first book, Ordinary Lives in the Early Caribbean: Religion, Colonial Competition and the Politics of Profit (UGA Press, 2012), she meditates on the limits of conventional historical methods to capture the emotions and voices of her subjects, many of them marginalized because of their sex, class, or enslaved status. She also remains committed to understanding the multilingual and inter-imperial entanglements that marked life in the early circum-Caribbean, and utilizes primary sources in Spanish, French, and English in her research.
MOLINA FELLOW IN THE HISTORY OF MEDICINE & ALLIED SCIENCES
Seth LeJacq, Fellow, Duke University
Topic: Knowing Sexual Crime
Seth Stein LeJacq is a Lecturing Fellow in Duke University's Thompson Writing Program. He received his BA from Cornell University and his Ph.D. in 2016 from the Department of the History of Medicine at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He is currently completing work on his first book project, Run Afoul: Sodomy, Masculinity, and the Body in the Sailing Royal Navy. This work explores masculinity and sexuality among British sailors in the age of sail, and focuses on the history of trials for same-sexual contact in the fleet from the late seventeenth century into the Victorian era. At The Huntington, his research will investigate forensic medicine and sexual crime in the premodern west, asking how knowledge of proscribed sexual activities was generated, how it circulated, and how it was used.
NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES FELLOW
Katherine Cox, Lecturer, University of Texas, Austin
Topic: Climate Change and Original Sin: Meteorology and Acoustics in the Age of Milton
Katherine Cox recently received her Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin and holds a B.A. from Stanford University. She taught English literature in post-doctoral positions at UT Austin from 2016-2018. Her scholarship focuses on the intersections between British Renaissance literature, the history of science, and the history of environment, and appears in article form in SEL: Studies in English Literature and Milton Studies. Her recent essay on the acoustical mechanism of temptation depicted in Paradise Lost received the Milton Society of America’s James Holly Hanford Article Award. As a 2018-2019 NEH Fellow, she will spend a year at The Huntington Library working on her book manuscript, Climate Change and Original Sin: Meteorology and Acoustics in the Age of Milton. The project demonstrates the influence of the early modern fields of meteorology and acoustics in Milton’s moralistic portrayal of climate corruption and brings to light the theological inflections of early modern climatology.
NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE HUMANITIES FELLOW
Marjoleine Kars, Associate Professor, University of Maryland, Baltimore County
Topic: Slaves Remastered: An Untold Story of Rebellion, Revolution, and Restoration in the Atlantic World
Marjoleine Kars is Associate Professor of History at UMBC where she just served two terms as department chair. At The Huntington she will be finishing a book about a massive and nearly successful slave rebellion in a Dutch colony (now the Republic of Guyana) in South America tentatively titled Slaves Remastered: An Untold Story of Rebellion, Revolution, and Restoration in the Atlantic World. An article about this work, “Dodging Rebellion: Politics and Gender in the Berbice Slave Uprising of 1763,” published in the American Historical Review (2016) won a number of prizes. With Michael McDonnell and Andrew Schocket, she is editing a three-volume Handbook of the American Revolution for Cambridge University Press.
BARBARA THOM POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
Manuel Covo, Assistant Professor, University of California, Santa Barbara
Topic: The Entrepôt of Atlantic Revolutions: The Colony of Saint Domingue, Commercial Republicanism, and the Remaking of the French Empire
Manuel Covo is an assistant professor of history at the University of California, Santa Barbara. He received his Ph.D. from the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales in Paris.

He is completing his first book project entitled The Entrepôt of Atlantic Revolutions: Saint-Domingue, Commercial Republicanism and the Remaking of the French Empire (1778-1804). It places the American, the French, and the Haitian Revolution in a global context and argues that the massive trade between the wealthiest slave colony in the world and the first independent republic in the Americas was foundational in the invention of a modern French republican empire.
BARBARA THOM POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
Jessica Rosenberg, Assistant Professor, University of Miami
Topic: Botanical Virtues: Horticulture and Textual Culture in Early Modern England
Jessica Rosenberg is Assistant Professor of English at the University of Miami, where she teaches courses on Shakespeare, early modern literature and culture, and science and literature.

Her current project, Botanical Virtues: Horticulture and Textual Culture in Early Modern England, traces the plants, flowers, and trees ubiquitous in the poetic and practical books published in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century England. She has also essays published or forthcoming on husbandry, poetry, and household management; the virtues of plants; and the poetics of instructional books.
BARBARA THOM POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW
Danielle Terrazas Williams, Assistant Professor, Oberlin College
Topic: The Capital of Free Women: Race, Status, and Economic Networks in Colonial Veracruz

Her research interests include women’s history, governance, slavery, family, and notions of class and status. Her work has appeared in The Americas and Ulúa. Her current book project aims to challenge traditional narratives of racial hierarchies and gendered mobility by focusing on African-descended women’s experiences in Mexico’s understudied period of 1580-1730. At The Huntington, she will be working with the collection’s rare books and manuscripts to study the regional influence of various Catholic institutions and to examine the impact of Caribbean piracy on both quotidian experiences and colonial governance.
ACLS/BURKHARDT FELLOW
Daniela Bleichmar, Associate Professor, University of Southern California
Topic: The Itinerant Lives of Painted Books: Mexican Codices and Transatlantic Knowledge in the Early Modern World

Her current book project is entitled Painted Book: A Mexican Codex on the Move in the Early Modern World.
ACLS/BURKHARDT FELLOW
Andrea Denny-Brown, Associate Professor, University of California, Riverside
Topic: Criminal Ornament: Aesthetic Misbehavior in the Fifteenth Century
Andrea Denny-Brown is Associate Professor of English at the University of California, Riverside. She is the author of Fashioning Change: The Trope of Clothing in High- and Late-Medieval England (2012) and the co-editor, with Lisa H. Cooper, of Lydgate Matters: Poetry and Material Culture in the Fifteenth Century (2008) and The Arma Christi in Medieval and Early Modern Material Culture (2014). Most recently she has guest-edited a double issue of the journal Exemplaria on “The Provocative Fifteenth Century,” a project that originated as a conference at the Huntington Library in 2015. Her current book project, Criminal Ornament: Aesthetic Misbehavior in the Fifteenth Century, claims a new importance for the aesthetic category of medieval ornament in Western intellectual history. This project demonstrates the emergence of ornament as a provocative interdisciplinary technique in late medieval verbal, visual, and decorative arts that also played a crucial if antithetical role in the articulation of modernist aesthetics in the early twentieth century.
