Lauren Working

visited the Folger as a fellow in May 2019. She is a postdoc on the TIDE project (Travel, Transculturality, and Identity in England, 1550-1700) at the University of Liverpool. Her research focuses on Jacobean sociability, politics, and empire; the Anglo-Algonquian Chesapeake; wit and political friendships at the Inns of Court; and material and visual approaches to civility. Lauren’s next project will explore female colonial interests and transcultural objects.
