    Dr. Katy Hull is an Assistant Professor of Modern Gender History in the American Studies department. She is interested in twentieth century US history, civil rights, social movements, women’s and gender history, masculinity, and the history of emotions. In the summer of 2023, she was a fellow at the Global Sentimentality Project at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg. Her first book was The Machine Has a Soul: American Sympathy with Italian Fascism (Princeton University Press, 2021). Her current research project investigates the construction of emotions in New Left activist autobiographies. In addition to her PhD in US History (Georgetown University, 2018), she holds an MA in human rights, and an MA in international relations and international economics (Johns Hopkins, SAIS).
