Work in Progress
Dr. Hamlin’s work focuses on the intersections of science, religion, and gender. Her current book project is From Eve to Evolution: Darwinian Evolution and American Feminist Thought, 1870-1920, which examines the ways in which Darwinian evolution altered popular understandings of gender and influenced U.S. feminist thought.
