Amelia Rosch is an upper year PhD candidate at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥. Her research interests include early modern England, the intersection of gender and political power, and print culture. Her dissertation, under the co-supervision of Jeffrey Collins and Daniel Woolf, aims to recover Queen Mary II of England's political agency during her reign. It explores how Mary II exerted political influence, through her personal, political and religious networks, in order to shape government policy, both with and independently of her husband, William III, in order to complicate the traditional "William and Mary" narrative that assumes that Mary was the utterly passive partner in the co-monarchy. In her spare time, she enjoys running, scuba diving and practicing Italian.
