Marina Ortiz

I am currently a PhD candidate studying with Dr. Rafe Blaufarb at Florida State University. I received my BA in History from Florida Southern College in 2014. In 2016 I received my MA in History from FSU before beginning my doctorate. My research focuses on material and visual culture produced during and shortly after the French Revolution. My dissertation centers on the use of material culture by counterrevolutionaries to influence the narrative and legacy of the revolution.
