Event Description
Robin Franklin

Robin Franklin is a third-year history Ph.D. student at Princeton and an affiliate of the gender and sexuality studies certificate program. Specializing in the cultural and intellectual history of the United States since 1865, Robin explores how gendered, sexual, and racial power relations have molded historical experiences of time, selfhood, and desire.

Most recently, Robin has begun a new project examining the relationship between Native Americans and the mind sciences in the mid-to-late 20th century. Further interests of Robin’s include: the history of the emotions; consumer culture; the conceptual terrain of “religious” and “secular” thinking; violence and non-violence; histories of multiracial collaboration; film and popular music; political theory; and the history of political thought.
