Nancy L. Hagedorn <H-Atlantic.Editor@fredonia.edu> SUNY Fredonia I'm currently completing a book manuscript on interpreters as cultural brokers among the Iroquois during the colonial period. I'm also very interested in cultural interaction and multicultural communities more broadly based throughout the Atlantic World. My new project looks at the Philadelphia waterfront as a cultural frontier, using a variety of research and analytical techniques, including historical GIS-mapping. |
