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

I am an Ph.D. Candidate and Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Department of French at the University of Virginia. You can usually find me hard at work on my dissertation,"Recasting Iron: Alternative Imaginations of an Ephemeral Eiffel Tower, 1889-1909," but in my free time I enjoy making leather bags, redoing furniture, spoiling my cat, and watching any costume drama I can find.

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!
