Amy Milne-Smith joined the faculty in 2007 as an Assistant Professor of Modern European history after completing her PhD at the University of Toronto. Her research focusses on the English elites, and she has published two articles on that research “Club Talk: Gossip, Masculinity, and the Importance of Oral Communities in late Nineteenth-Century London” Gender and History, 21:1 (2009): 86-106 and “A Flight to Domesticity?: Making a Home in the Gentlemen’s Clubs of London, 1880- 1914,” Journal of British Studies, 45:4 (2006): 796-818. She is currently revising her manuscript (An Eve-less Eden: the World of the late Victorian Gentlemen’s Clubs) for publication. Her next project focusses on Victorian men's madness, its treatment by health practitioners and perceptions of the public at large. She is generally interested in social, cultural, gender, and urban history. Her teaching interests include European history, Victorian Britain, gender, urban culture, human rights, and historiography.
