Emelyn Rude

Doctoral Student

I am a PhD student at King's College funded by a Gates Cambridge Scholarship. I previously completed my BA in Social Studies at Harvard University (2012) and my MPhil in Economic and Social History at the University of Cambridge (2018). 

My research interests include the history of food and diet and the reciprocal relationship between the environment and what people eat. My thesis project, supervised by Prof. Paul Warde, focuses on the impact that fish stock collapses have had on American eating habits.
