Biography

Professor Hood’s main research interests are in the production and consumption of early America and the early modern Atlantic world, particularly related to textiles, clothing, and fashion. Her work has an interdisciplinary focus that includes material culture, theory, methodology, and museology. Professor Hood authored the book "Weaver’s Craft: Cloth, Commerce, Industry in Early Pennsylvania," published in 2003 by the University of Pennsylvania Press. Her published articles have appeared in notable journals such as the William and Mary Quarterly, the Journal of Social History, and the Journal of American History, and her work has been featured in edited volumes and anthologies.
