Bio
Dr. McCulley is an early modernist with a dual appointment as a Visiting Assistant Teaching Professor in Religious Studies and History. He earned his B.S. from Cornell University and his Ph.D. from Queen’s University Belfast. Before joining William and Mary, he taught at Fairfield University and conducted research at Yale Divinity School and then the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences at Yale University in the Department of History as a Visiting Assistant in Research.
His research centers on the social networks and political radicalism of religious dissenters in later 17th century England, the transatlantic reception history of anti-Catholic literature, and early conceptions of toleration in Colonial America. He has a particular interest in the habits of notetaking, journaling, and collecting of religious and political manuscripts, especially those belonging to women in the 17th century.
He is currently co-editing a critical edition of previously unpublished material titled, The Sermons of John Owen: Selections from Auditors’ Notebooks (1667-1683), forthcoming with Oxford University Press.
