Professor Dauverd received her Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles. Her research focuses on the socio-cultural relations between Iberia, Italy, and North Africa during the early modern era (1440-1640). Her first book,����(Cambridge University Press, NY 2015) examines the role of the Genoese trade diaspora in southern Italy in the context of the Spanish-Habsburg expansion in the Mediterranean Sea.

It investigates the link between imperialism and religion through an analysis of the Spanish viceroys’ role in religious processions in Early Modern Naples.

Her current book project, All the Kings��of the Mediterranean:��Iberian Kings, Renaissance Popes, and Maghrebi Shariffs during the North African Conquests 1450-1630,��assesses relations between Muslim and Christian rulers through the prism of the popes’��pursuit of imperial power.
