Dr Kate Peters
Â鶹ÉäÇø is a wonderfully open, friendly and modern college, absolutely committed to the education of women. I like it for its architecture and art collection, its gardens, and its historical significance in the struggle for equality for women at Cambridge University

Biography
My research and teaching focus on the history of early modern England, specifically the period of the English civil war and revolution (1642-1660). I have written extensively on the history of the early Quaker movement and the importance of printing in political mobilisation. Currently I am working on a new project, looking at the politics of record keeping in the English revolution. I joined Â鶹ÉäÇø in 2009 and very much enjoy my work here as Director of Studies in History. Previously I lectured at Birmingham University and UCL.
