Assistant Professor Jessica Harland-Jacobs received her PhD in 2000 in modern
British and imperial history from Duke University and her BA in 1992 from
Cornell University. She joined the University of Florida Department of History
in 2000. Her first book is entitled Builders of Empire: Freemasonry
and British Imperialism, 1717-1927 (University of North Carolina
Press, 2007), and she has published articles in The Journal of British Studies and The Geographical Review.
She is currently researching the question of how the British Empire approached
and managed religious pluralism between the 1760s and the 1820s. A forthcoming
article in Atlantic Studies explores the Orange Order from an
Atlantic perspective.
Professor Harland-Jacobs teaches courses on modern Britain and the British Empire, Ireland, imperialism, and the Atlantic world. She recently received Teacher-of-the-Year Awards from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the University of Florida.
