I'm a historian of early modern Rome (1500-1800). My research explores a wide range of topics in political, social, and cultural history from popular politics, print culture, urban space, and legal practices to artists' organizations and men's households. Recently I published the book Brokers of Public Trust: Notaries in Early Modern Rome (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2009). Currently I'm working on Baroque Rome as a "city of men," where males substantially outnumbered females and the clergy held the reins of both domestic and political power.

Claire Potter focuses her research on the social and cultural dynamics of state formation in the 20th century. She is the author of a major study of the FBI's war on midwestern bandits in the 1930s and currently working on a book which explores the impact of historical writing about race and citizenship on nationalist discourse in the United States. A third project in its early stages focuses on the federal campaigns against pornography initiated in the Carter, Reagan and first Bush administrations. She teaches the survey courses on U.S. Foreign Relations (which highlights interhemispheric relations), Politics and Culture of the Southern States, and post Stonewall queer political thought; as well as seminars on the New Deal, crime, and the Cold War.

I have always studied African history together with literature, art history, language, and ethnography. My research, therefore, reflects the broader social context of historical change and my sense of Africa's place in a wider world. My book, Mother Is Gold, Father Is Glass: Gender in a Yoruba Kingdom, analyzes the broader historical, political, and symbolic meanings of motherhood in public contexts in West Africa, demonstrating how Africa fits into colonial, Atlantic world, and gender historiographies in new ways. My new project, "Black Revolutionaries in a French Atlantic World" examines how Africans and people of African descent shaped French republican and human rights rhetoric from the era of the Haitian Revolution through France's Fourth Republic. I am interested in the ways Africans and people of African descent expressed ideas about citizenship and human rights as they confronted French colonialism in the Americas, Africa, and in France itself.

As a scholar of Jewish history, eastern European history, and of early modern religious and cultural history, I specialize in Jewish-Christian relations. My book, Jews and Heretics in Catholic Poland: A Beleaguered Church in the Post Reformation Era, published by Cambridge University Press in 2006, challenges the perception that the Catholic Church triumphed in Poland and demonstrates the superficiality of the re-Catholicization of the ruling elites, whose economic interests trumped their religious loyalties. My forthcoming book, Sinners on Trial: Jews and Sacrilege after the Reformation (Harvard University Press, 2011) tells a story of the process of affirmation of Catholic dogmas after the Reformation, not necessarily though religious education and propaganda but through the application of criminal law, and the courts' treatment of "the sacred" and, thus, also of the "sacrilege." "Sinners on Trial" combines political, legal, and cultural historical approaches. In Poland, the contest over the sacredness of the Eucharist, a major Catholic dogma challenged by the Reformation, became manifest in lay courts' adjudication of crimes against property and religious symbols, especially those linked to the Eucharistic rituals. The mishandling of sacred symbols and objects transformed sins into crimes and led to harsh sentences, including burning at the stake. Far more than the Church's efforts to educate the laity, the lay courts' classification of Catholic spaces as the only "sacred spaces" and their adjudication of crimes of "sacrilege," were crucial for the (re)Catholicisation of Poland, and the shaping of the country's religious identity. "Sinners on Trial" crucially casts a new light on the most infamous case of sacrilege, the accusations against Jews for stealing and desecrating the host, situating it within a broader context of the politics of crime -- most specifically that of sacrilege, illuminating its post-Reformation character.
