Julie Flavell, Ph.D.
Independent Historian
I was born in the United States and grew up in Massachusetts, where I acquired a life-long interest in the American Revolution. After graduating from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania, I gained my PhD in history at University College London. I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Historical Society in 1999. I now live in Scotland with my husband, who is British. I have lectured in American history at Dundee and Edinburgh Universities, where I specialized in the Revolutionary era. My first book, "When London Was Capital of America", explores the period just before the American Revolution through the experiences of individual colonists in London. "The Howe Dynasty" (2021) was a Finalist for the 2022 George Washington Book Prize, and a New York Times Editor's Choice, August 2021.
