Professor Marsh studies anglophone literature and culture of the long eighteenth century, with focus on the western Atlantic history of race and slavery. In support of her book project, Novel Constitutions: Bodies of Law and Fictions of Race, 1688-1818, Professor Marsh was a Penick Fellow at the Smithsonian Institute Libraries in 华盛顿, DC. Her other research interests include medical humanities, law and literature, and the history of the novel. Professor Marsh's classes study core humanities texts—from Plato to Saint Augustine to Jane Austen to Frederick Douglass—to explore what it means to be human. By reading these texts with charity, and in a wisdom-seeking way, her students learn how to cultivate a life of the mind as a resource for human flourishing.
