Emily Conroy-Krutz is a historian of nineteenth-century America specializing in global history of the early American republic. She has particular interests in American ideas about empire and the international dimensions of American religion and reform.  Her first book, Converting the World in the Early Republic: Christian Imperialism and American Foreign Missions (Cornell, 2015) focuses on the American foreign mission movement and American imperialism.  She has written articles on empire in the early republic, the Anglo-American relations in the American missionary entry into India, international dimensions of 19th-century reform, and the female seminary movement.  Her current research focuses on the role of women and religion in transatlantic reform movements before 1840.
