Brief
biography: I was born and raised in Southern
California and am a product of local schools. After
a lengthy stay in Sweden I returned to California
and completed my Bachelors degree at UCLA in History
and Scandinavian Literature and Languages. I returned
to UCLA for graduate work in History and completed
my Ph.D. in 1999. During graduate school I studied
in Paris, France, and attended the Universita per
Stranieri in Perugia Italy. In 1995 I was the recipiant
of a Fullbright Fellowship and spent the year researching
in Stockholm Sweden. My disertation was an interdisciplinary
study of royal funerals and coronations in late sixteenth-century
Sweden and France examining the uses of ritual to
construct royal power. I am currently active in the
Association for the Advancement of Scandinavian Studies,
the French Historical Society, the Society for Sixteenth-Century
Studies, and am currently president of the Renaissance
Conference of Southern California.
