Molly Nebiolo
PhD in World History
Graduated in 2023
Molly Nebiolo came to Northeastern with a BA in history and biology for a doctoral program that would allow her to conduct research encompassing spatial history and notions of place in the early modern world. Molly chose Northeastern’s PhD in World History to work on her dissertation, “Constructing Health: Concepts of Well-Being in the Early Atlantic World,” which explores the intersection of early colonial urban history and the history of public health and medicine.
“The experiences I’ve had outside of my PhD program—and at international conferences—have influenced the way I look at the field of history and the type of work I can pursue with my degree. The faculty at Northeastern have assisted me to seek out these opportunities, and they have helped me to grow as an academic.”
