Chase Caldwell Smith, University of Oxford

Chase is a candidate for the M.St. in Global and Imperial History at the University of Oxford, where he holds a Clarendon Scholarship. He received his B.A. in History from the University of Cambridge. Chase studies processes of cultural encounter in the early modern Iberian empires, working at the intersection of the histories of race, gender, knowledge, and religion. His master’s dissertation investigates texts and images produced by Manuel Godinho de Erédia, a Luso-Malay cartographer who worked in the Portuguese Estado da Índia in the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-centuries.
