Research Interests
Kathleen DuVal's research focuses on early America, particularly cross-cultural relations on North American borderlands. Her book The Native Ground: Indians and Colonists in the Heart of the Continent
(University of Pennsylvania, 2006) argues that, in the middle of the continent, Indians rather than Europeans were more often able to determine the form and content of their relations. Her second book is
Interpreting a Continent: Voices from Colonial America (Rowman & Littlefield, 2009). Co-edited with her father, the literary scholar and translator John DuVal, this book is a collection of primary sources
showing the diversity of colonial America. DuVal is currently writing a book on the American Revolution on the Gulf Coast titled Independence Lost, under contract with Random House.
