Professor Butler primarily teaches courses in American cultural and
intellectual history. She received her doctorate at Yale University and taught
at Reed College and James Madison College (at Michigan State University) before
coming to Dartmouth in 2003.
Her research has explored the contours and complexities of 19th-century
Anglo-American liberalism. Her first book,
Critical Americans: Victorian Intellectuals and Transatlantic Liberal
Reform, examines a group of liberal intellectuals who sought to remake
public life in the second half of the nineteenth century.
Her current project (tentatively titled "The Political Education of
Victorian Women: Gender and Citizenship in Nineteenth-Century Britain and
America") focuses on the thought of a group of British and American
suffragists, male and female, who held expansive views about the connections
between education and democratic citizenship.
