Christine Griffiths is a Ph.D. Candidate in early modern European visual and material culture, under the supervision of Professor Deborah Krohn. She holds a BA in Art History and Anthropology from Stony Brook University and an MA in Decorative Arts, Design History, and Material Culture from Bard Graduate Center. Her work focuses on artisanal practices, gardens, and material cultures of natural history, especially on the circulation of objects, books, and people between Britain, Europe, and the larger world. Christine’s dissertation, From Garden to Toilette: Cultivating Perfume in Early Modern Britain, highlights the making of perfume through close study of its constituent raw materials, including roses, orange blossom, and ambergris. Her work takes an interdisciplinary approach, employing recent methodologies from art history, anthropology, and history of the book, science, and medicine. Christine’s research has been supported by fellowships and grants from Dumbarton Oaks Research Library and Collection, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, New York Botanical Garden, Rare Book School, and the British Society for the History of Science.
