Dr. Caroline S. Hackett
Ph.D., History


My dissertation entitled "Propriétaires in Plain Sight: The Legal and Economic Autonomy of Married Women in Southern France, 1750-1815" focuses on women's property rights before, during, and after the French Revolution. In addition to European history, I have expertise in gender and sexuality, the history of the Atlantic world, and Early America. 

Teaching, instructional design, and curriculum development are all passions of mine. After almost a decade of teaching secondary and university-level history, I pride myself on the ability to create courses that are simultaneously rigorous, collaborative, and interesting. 

When not teaching, researching, or writing, I love to hike with my dog, thrift shop, travel, and play guitar.
