Thesis Title: Tudor Imperialism: Exploration, Expansion, and Experimentation in the Sixteenth-Century British Atlantic World
About
My dissertation engages questions about the formation of empires and the relationship between imperial expansion and national consolidation. It does so by focusing on some of the earliest imperial designs undertaken by the British, in the sixteenth century, in settings within Europe, the British Isles, and the Americas. It traces this Tudor-era overseas experimentation in its diverse forms as a means to investigate the intertwined processes of territorial expansion abroad and national consolidation at home.
