Natalie Zemon Davis Reviews

  • Natalie Davis provided a tremendous experience for our students and our campus. Her scholarly brilliance was matched only by her generosity and curiosity toward our students. She was a pleasure to work with. Jamie was super responsive and helpful in every way; very pleased with her work. I did not work with Adrienne Sinquefield.
    Susquehanna University - Sep 16 2016

  • Her talk was great and well pitched to the level of the audience (mostly undergraduates). I really appreciated that she was willing to have lunch with a group of students and talk about their research projects. The feedback I've gotten from everyone I've spoken to (faculty, students) has been very positive.
