Meet @shiralurie.bsky.social, one of our #JERFall2025 authors!

In her article “William Bonham’s Republic: Defining Politics in the Whiskey Rebellion,” Lurie considers whether revolutionary tactics still had a place in the emergent Republic.

Shira Lurie (she/her) is an Associate Professor of United States History at Saint Mary’s University and the Special Series Editor for the “Road to 250” series for Made by History at TIME Magazine. Lurie’s research focuses on popular politics, protest, the meaning of democracy. Her book, The American Liberty Pole: Popular Politics and the Struggle for Democracy in the Early Republic (UVA Press, 2023), explores how Americans used protest symbols and grassroots organization to contest the limits of political legitimacy in the new nation. In her Fall ‘25 JER article, “William Bonham’s Republic: Defining Politics in the Whiskey Rebellion,” Lurie examines how neighbors in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania, clashed over what political participation should look like under a republican government, and whether the methods of revolutionary-era dissent still had a place.

Meet another one of our #JERFall2025 authors — Jacqueline Beatty, whose “Rethinking the Gender of Politics” challenges us to reconsider how we define political power in the early republic.

Read on Project Muse: muse.jhu.edu/article/9693...
Meet the Author tile for Jacqueline Beatty - "Jacqueline Beatty teaches early American, women’s and gender, and public history at York College of Pennsylvania. She also consults with public history organizations like Revolutionary Spaces and the York History Center. Her first book, In Dependence: Women and the Patriarchal State in Revolutionary America (NYU Press, 2023), shows how women in Boston, Philadelphia, and Charleston used their legal and social dependency to negotiate power and challenge patriarchal systems. Beatty is currently working on two new projects: Twenty-Five Women Who Shaped the American Revolution (Routledge) and Engendering Orientalism in the Empire of Liberty. In her Fall ‘25 JER article, “Rethinking the Gender of Politics,” Beatty urges a recentering of women’s activism in the Early Republic, challenging the idea that politics was inherently masculine and calling for a more inclusive framework for political history.
