She received her Ph.D. from the University of Cambridge (Trinity Hall) in 2010. Her dissertation was entitled ‘Dissent and Identity in Seventeenth-Century New England,’ and is now a book project entitled 'Vice in the Land of Canaan: Crime and Dissent in "Puritan" New England.' Charlotte is particularly interested in Thomas Morton, who founded the Ma-re Mount settlement (modern-day Quincy, MA), and she has written a biography of Morton for a book entitled Atlantic Lives: Biographies that Cross the Ocean (Brill, 2013). Her new research project considers horses in the Atlantic World and has the provisional title of: ‘Slave Horse: The Narragansett Pacer in Rhode Island and the Atlantic World.’
