Dr. Taylor-Poleskey's general scholarly interests are in cultural exchange, material culture, court culture, and the history of everyday life in early modern Europe. Her current book project explores the rise of the House of Brandenburg-Prussia in the 17th century through the lens of its food culture. 

Taylor-Poleskey enjoys using new, digital tools to illuminate and narrate history. She developed “Journey up the Rhine,” an interactive map of the 1613 Palatine wedding journey, has been a research assistant for the Mapping the Republic of Letters Project and worked on visualizing the intellectual networks of the Grand Tour to Italy in the eighteenth century.
