Research Interests
Dr. Feather’s research looks at depictions of violence and their relationship to constructions of identity primarily in what one colleague called “the long sixteenth century”. Specifically, she is interested in how violence impacts shifting notions of embodiment and aristocratic male identity. Her scholarly and pedagogical interests include theories of violence and trauma, theories of embodiment, gender, and sexuality, fifteenth- and sixteenth-century British historical writing, interdisciplinary and historical approaches to literature, and early modern anatomies.
