Informationen zum Autor Kathryne Beebe, originally from just south of Kansas City, is now based in the United States after almost ten years in the UK. Before joining the Department of History at the University of Texas at Arlington in August 2013, she taught at Southeast Missouri State for three years. Prior to that, Dr Beebe was the VH Galbraith Teaching & Research Fellow at St. Hilda's College and a Junior Research Fellow in History at Balliol College, Oxford.
