Dr Caitlin Harvey

Early Career Research Fellow, Fitzwilliam College

Dr Caitlin Harvey is an Early Career Research Fellow of Fitzwilliam College. Her research examines the history of migration, race, settlement, and education in a British imperial and global context. Her scholarly interests also include Indigenous history and the institutional and political development of settler/Indigenous societies since 1800. She holds a Ph.D. in History from Princeton University (2021), along with degrees from the University of Oxford (M.St.) and the University of Western Ontario (B.A.).

Her current book project, Bricks and Mortar Boards: University-Building in the Settlement Empire, 1840-1920, examines the rapid expansion of university education across Britain’s colonies of settlement and their self-governing successors – Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa, and the United States – from new universities’ shaky beginnings at the start of the nineteenth century to their firm foundations and continued growth a century later. Her research has been published in The Journal of Women’s History, the Pacific Northwest Quarterly, and the Native American and Indigenous Studies (NAIS) Journal.
