| About |
Jessica Minieri is a PhD candidate at Binghamton University where she is studying the interconnected histories of gender, imprisonment, and empire in the Mediterranean and the lands of the Crown of Aragon. Jessica’s dissertation, “Stolen Bodies and Hollow Crowns: Imprisonment, Abduction, and the Expansion of the Crown of Aragon, 1280-1490,” explores the histories of captivity, imprisonment, and forced marriage for royals in Aragonese controlled Mallorca and Sicily. This project explores the ways in which Aragonese territorial expansion was connected to the control of the bodies, marriages, and sexuality of royal and aristocratic figures in the Western Mediterranean. She is also the lead editor of H-Sicily on H-Net.
