Post-Doc, History
About
I work on patronage, gender, and social networks in early modern France. I am currently working on the Parlement of Bordeaux during the reign of Francis I, examining the impact of venality on the court's composition and practices, and the networks connecting members of the court to the nobility and the royal administrators and offices of the region. As a post-doctoral researcher, I will be working with Jack Owens on a new collaborative research project entitled “Understanding social networks within complex, nonlinear systems: geographically-integrated history and dynamics GIS” [acronym: SOCNET], which is administered by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) Office of Cyberinfrastructure (OCI). In support of the project for four years, NSF provides $1,761,897, of which Idaho State University’s portion is $1,290.704 (OCI-0941371) and that of the University of Oklahoma is $471,193 (May Yuan, PI; OCI-0941501). The award is part of NSF’s Cyber-Enabled Discovery and Innovation (CDI) program.
