Graham Anthony

Biography

I grew up in Wellesley, Massachusetts, and received my BA from Emory University in 2007, majoring in Psychology and minoring in History. After six years teaching history at different levels in Jacksonville, Florida, and Atlanta, Georgia, I came to TCD to be a student once more.

Research

My research has focused on the gambling scene in England during the first half of the eighteenth century. My interest has been to explore how different forms of gambling acted as social indicators, and how the church reacted to trends in gambling through the early 1700s. My analysis will use a range of contemporary accounts, diaries, letters, travel writings, and sermons to explore the changing role gambling played in England during this period.
