Hello! I'm Julia V. Schrank. Welcome to my personal website.

I am an Ph.D. student and Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Department of French at the University of Virginia. Favorites of mine include the color black, rescue cats, fashion history, and Battlestar Galactica. You can usually find me hard at work researching culture in Belle Époque-era Paris, but in my free time I enjoy painting, jewelry-making, thrift-shopping, frequenting coffee shops, and flipping through galleries of material objects from eras past.

I hope that this website allows you to get to know me as a scholar, a hobbyist, and a person and that you enjoy your time here!
