Maura Capps is a 2013 International Dissertation Research Fellowship recipient and a graduate student at the University of Chicago. In this Research Snapshot, she examines how Enlightenment-era high husbandry, with its arsenal of sown grasses, traveled throughout Britain’s settler empire. The Research Snapshots series is an initiative aimed at highlighting important and innovative research by SSRC fellows who are currently conducting or who have recently returned from doing international research.
