Rosalind Rothwell,

I am a PhD Candidate in the Department of History. My dissertation, "Intoxicating Things: Global Material Culture on British and French Coromandel, c. 1670 - 1757," examines the sociocultural and economic history of global imports in two South Indian port cities: British Madras and French Pondicherry. It employs a material culture methodology and uses documents in French, Portuguese, English, Italian, and Tamil. My project has been funded by the Fulbright-Hays Program, the American Institute of Indian Studies, and the Duke Graduate School.

I hold an M.A. in Global, International & Comparative History from Georgetown University and a B.A. in History with minors in Fine Art and Italian from Skidmore College. Prior to coming to Duke, I worked in museums and in university academic affairs.
