Dr. Bragg’s research focuses on England, Spain, and Europe during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Her recent work has engaged themes of diplomacy, political polemic, popular print culture, colonialism, religious difference, and political millenarianism. Dr. Bragg’s current book project centers the assassination of the English Republic’s first ambassador to Spain, at the hands of disgruntled English Royalists, to underscore larger Anglo-Spanish diplomatic, political, and colonial alterations during the English Interregnum period.
