Biography
Ana Paula Lloyd is an early modern historian at King’s College London, with a particular interest in cross-cultural political networks, agency and belonging in mobile minorities. Her thesis, (2018), focused on the unprecedented 1672-81 Suspension of the Inquisition in Portugal. Ana Paula is currently a research associate working on a major ERC funded project New Christian Materiality 1450-1750, exploring the material culture of New Christian intercontinental traders of Jewish origin. Her particular focus is on agency and gender and how these were expressed and transformed through materiality in New Christian mercantile communities in different geographic and political spaces.
