Since the redesign of the site, and well before, several people have worked behind the scenes to provide Earlymodernfrance.org with the information you receive in the bi-weekly newsletter: new publications, calls for papers, conferences, job announcements, spotlights, and much more. This spotlight is an opportunity to introduce the members of the editorial team who have agreed to appear here. We would like to thank the entire team, including those who preferred not to be presented in this spotlight: there would be no EarlyModernFrance.org without them. 

Theresa Banks (Harvard University; Cambridge, MA, United States): Members New Brief Editor

Before coming to Harvard, I completed a B.A. in French and English at Cornell University. Now a Ph.D. candidate in the French section of Harvard’s Department of Romance Languages & Literatures, my research interests include representations of violence, and particularly crusade, in medieval and early modern French literature.
My first (virtual) SE17 was in 2020 and I was taken in by the community’s welcome and generosity. I knew I wanted to become more involved, so I was thrilled to join the Executive Committee as a Member-at-Large in 2021. I am now excited to serve as editor of the MNB.
