Biography

Carys Brown is a leading researcher in social, cultural, and religious history of late-seventeenth and eighteenth-century Britain. Currently the Head of Academic and Professional Development at Trinity College and an Affiliated Lecturer in the Faculty of History at the University of Cambridge, she has a rich background in educational roles and research. Previously serving as a Research Fellow at Trinity College and a Research Associate on a project focusing on lay religion, urbanization, and industrialization in England, she has a strong commitment to historical education and research. Her notable publication, 'Friends, Neighbours, Sinners: Religious Difference in English Society, 1689-1750', examines the formative influence of religious difference on English society during a period marked by significant political and social tensions.

She teaches various courses on early modern Britain and childhood, and actively seeks to guide students in their academic inquiries into British social and cultural history.
