Zoe Jackson

I am a PhD student in early modern history at Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge. My doctoral research, supervised by Professor Alexandra Walsham, explores how people understood the relationship between memory and witness perjury in the law courts of later seventeenth-century England. My research is funded by a Gonville/Bauer Studentship and I am an Honorary Cambridge Trust Scholar. After graduating from Cornell University (New York, USA) with a BA in History in 2016, I worked as the editorial assistant at the American Historical Association. From 2019 to 2020, I pursued an MPhil in Early Modern History, also at Caius, with a project titled, ‘Female Testimony and Political Memory in East Anglia, 1660-1685’.



I served as the Co-Editor-in-Chief of Doing History in Public for the academic year 2020-2021. I am also a co-founder and co-convenor of the Cambridge History of Memory and Emotions Workshop.
