Research

Keith Luria studies early-modern France and Europe, especially its cultural, religious, gender, and social history. He has examined these issues in two books, Territories of Grace: Cultural Change in the Seventeenth-Century Diocese of Grenoble (Berkeley, 1991) and Sacred Boundaries: Religious Coexistence and Conflict in Early Modern France (Washington, DC, 2005). He has also written on topics such as the history of popular culture, religious conversion, and Catholic missions. He is currently interested in the history of religious coexistence, missions in and beyond Europe during the early-modern period, the meanings of religious conversion, and the European encounter with non-European religions during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Teaching

Keith Luria teaches surveys of European history from the Renaissance through the French Revolution. The subjects he teaches in upper level classes include the history of the Protestant and Catholic Reformations, Early-Modern Gender history, the history of France in the Old Regime, and the French Revolution.
