Jennifer Nelson studies early modern art and cultural production from Europe and its outposts. At Radcliffe she is linking a new theory of art’s emergent properties in the Renaissance with an account of these properties’ misuse in the late 16th century, focusing on the geographic and conceptual borders of Christendom during European expansion of trade routes and territories. She is also an alum of the Literature concentration and the author of three books of poetry.
