Jennifer Higginbotham

Jennifer Higginbotham studies early modern English literature and drama (roughly Shakespeare's era), with a focus on how girlhood, gender, and sexuality were represented and understood at the time. Her work often examines how categories like age and gender identity were constructed in plays and other writing from that period, including questions of religious conversion and racial representation. This research is aimed at students interested in literary history, gender studies, and the cultural history of childhood in Renaissance England.

Publication output has been uneven over the last decade, with a peak in 2018 followed by gaps in several years and a modest recent uptick in 2024-2025.
