Molly is a first-year doctoral student studying 18th and 19th century North America, gender history, and revolution.

They are also interested in questions of revolutionary memory and print culture, and are part of a team working on an upcoming exhibit at the University of Chicago's Special Collections Research Center on the Declaration of Independence's 250 year anniversary.
