Biography

Constance de Font-Réaulx is a scholar specializing in environmental history and early modern France. She obtained her Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins University in 2022 and subsequently became a postdoctoral fellow in the History Department at the University of Toronto, where she will be working from 2022 to 2024. Her research primarily focuses on the commercialization and commodification of drinking water in early modern Paris, examining debates around governance and the supply of water in the context of commercial financial capitalism that began to transform nature into a commodity. Constance is currently developing a manuscript entitled "Power Water: Politics of Parisian Waterworks (1660-1850)". Her work has been published in peer-reviewed journals and edited volumes, and she serves as an assistant editor for H-France Forum. Her research has also been supported by prestigious fellowships from the Social Science Research Council and the American Council of Learned Societies.
