She is interested in how the radical changes associated wit h modernity were made socially meaningful in Britain and around the world. Her first book\, Trust Among Strangers: Friendly Societies in Modern Britai n\, examined the surprising ways in which Britons used friendly societies t o navigate the new social landscape of rapidly growing urban centers in the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. \n\n \n\nShe is currently workin g on a social history of self-interest and on the changing boundaries that Britons drew around it in the second half of the nineteenth century. Tentat ively titled\, The Boundaries of Self-Interest\, her hope is that this new story might remind us that when Britain experienced its most profound perio d of economic growth\, it also worked hardest to keep self-interest within socially tenable boundaries. \n\n \n\nProfessor Ismay teaches courses on ea rly modern and modern Britain and its empire\, revolution and social trust in modern Europe\; money and credit\, women and work\, marriage and family\ , and sociability and associational life.\n\n \n\nThis event is free and op en to the public.
