Isabel Mangum

I am a first year MPhil in History (US Strand) student at St Cross College supervised by Stephen Tuffnell. I completed my BSc in International Relations and History at the London School of Economics, and I studied an additional year at IE University in Madrid, Spain. While at the LSE, I worked as a Phelan US Centre Undergraduate Research Assistantship and an International History Department Research Assistantship award. My Current research explores the role of American historians in shaping the form of American imperialism between 1898 and 1933, with particular attention to Mary Wilhelmine Williams. More broadly, I am interested in historiographies of race, gender, and imperialism, and the structuring of Western Hemispheric relations between the 19th and 20th centuries.
