The History Department Welcomes New Faculty Members


Sana AiyarSana Aiyar- I am a historian of Modern South Asia. My broad research and teaching interests lie in the inter-regional, colonial and post-colonial history of South Asia and South Asians across the Indian Ocean. I am currently working on a political history of the Indian diaspora in colonial Kenya between 1910-1968. In particular, I am interested in the ways in which the Indian diaspora transcended boundaries of race and nation, challenging along the way the political limitations of territorially-bound and racially-defined anti-colonial nationalism.

Joe DennisJoe Dennis - I am an historian of late imperial China, especially the Ming (1368-1644). My research and teaching focus on Chinese social, legal, and book history. I am currently completing a manuscript about the writing, publishing, and reading of local gazetteers.

Pernille IpsenPernille Ipsen- I specialize in the social history of the Atlantic world with a broad interest in interracial marriage and developments in social categories of gender and race during European colonialism and encounters with “others” around the globe.

Miranda JohnsonMiranda Johnson - I am a historian of indigenous peoples and settler colonialism in the Anglophone post/colonial world, most specifically in North America and the Pacific. I am currently completing a book manuscript that explores the significance of indigenous rights in political and social terms to Anglophone settler states in the post-war era of decolonization.

Leonora NevilleLeonora Neville - I am an historian of the medieval eastern Mediterranean, specializing in the society and culture of the eastern Roman Empire (the Byzantine Empire) in the ninth through twelfth centuries.  I have strong interests in the late antique and classical antecedents of the medieval eastern Mediterranean cultures.
