Biography

Rosalind Powell is an Assistant Professor of English Literature at the University of Amsterdam, having joined in January 2023. She holds a PhD from the University of St Andrews and an undergraduate degree from the University of Cambridge. Her current research focuses on scientific self-experimentation and the development of aesthetic categories from 1660 to 1830, exploring how notable figures such as Joseph Priestley and Antonie van Leeuwenhoek documented their trials and the narrative accounts that contributed to the refinement of concepts like genius, originality, and taste. In addition to her research, she co-edits an essay collection with Lisa Ottum and Alison Dushane titled 'Teaching With Science Writing in Humanities Classes'. She welcomes collaboration and is eager to connect with scholars about research content and methods. Teaching-wise, Rosalind supervises and teaches courses related to English Literature from 1600 to 1900, specifically focusing on early modern literature and eighteenth-century authors in the upcoming academic year.
