Rebecca Ard Boone teaches courses on the Renaissance and Reformation, the Old Regime, early modern Europe, the French Revolution, and the Age of Columbus, among others.  An intellectual and cultural historian, her research focus is Renaissance Europe.  Her work on sixteenth-century French political theorist Claude de Seyssel has been published in the Journal of the History of Ideas and appeared as War, Domination, and the Monarchy of France (Brill, 2007).  Dr. Boone is currently studying Spanish imperial ideology and working on a translation of Mercurino di Gattinara's autobiography and a source book on global trade in the early modern era.  She recently received an NEH grant to participate in the Rethinking America in Global Perspective institute at the Library of Congress.  Her Issues in World Cultures II course was cited as exemplary by the Center for Educational Policy Research.
