The History Department is delighted to welcome our newest member, Professor Jennifer Regan\u2013Lefebvre<\/strong>, whom we recruited last winter through an international search to teach a variety of courses in British and British Imperial history.<\/p>\n

\"Prof.<\/a>Prof. Regan\u2013Lefebvre earned a Ph.D. from Queen\u2019s University Belfast in 2007 and a B.S. from Georgetown University in 2003. She has taught at the University of Exeter, the American University of Paris and the University of Cambridge, where she was a fellow, the Director of Studies in History and the Assistant Tutor at King\u2019s College.<\/p>\n

History@Trinity<\/em><\/strong> hopes to publish soon excerpts from an interview in which she discusses in detail her research and teaching and her plans for the near future.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, Prof. Regan\u2013Lefebvre has kindly provided us with the following statement:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am delighted to be joining the History Department at Trinity in 2013 and am looking forward to getting to know students and colleagues at Trinity.<\/em><\/p>\n

My expertise is in British and British Imperial history and I\u2019m particularly interested in how modern Britain was shaped and affected by the British Empire.<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019ve written a book about relations between Irish and Indian nationalists in the nineteenth century and I\u2019ve also published on the history of travel, race and racism, and the press. I am currently researching a history of the London wine trade since 1800.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2013-2014 I\u2019ll be teaching a First Year Program seminar on the history of London (\u201cLondon: Traditional, Modern and Global\u201d) plus three History courses: \u201cModern Britain and Imperial Culture,\u201d \u201cModern Britain since 1750\u201d and \u201cModern Ireland, Global Ireland.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

I\u2019m originally from Massachusetts but have lived in Europe for eighteen years.\u00a0 I\u2019m very excited to be returning home to New England and am particularly looking forward to watching the leaves change on the Trinity campus this fall.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
