Kate Luce Mulry (PhD, New York University) is an Assistant Professor of History at California State University, Bakersfield.
She is the author of An Empire Transformed:
Remolding Bodies and Landscapes in the Restoration Atlantic (New York University Press, 2021).
Mulry teaches courses on early American history, Atlantic World history, the history of science and medicine, the British empire, environmental history, and the history of food.
Mulry’s research and writing examine how ideas about the environment, health, and the body shaped, and were shaped by, early modern political culture in the Anglo Atlantic.
She is currently working on a project investigating the role played by medical writers in consolidating a set of beliefs about reproduction, demography, and labor in an expanding English empire in the late seventeenth century.
