Seth Stein Lejacq serves as an Assistant Professor in the History Department within the School of Arts and Sciences at Hunter College, City University of New York. His academic home is firmly established in historical studies with a specialized focus on European history.
LeJacq received his BA from Cornell University and completed his PhD at Johns Hopkins University, establishing a strong foundation in historical methodology and research.
His research interests center on early modern Britain, the history of medicine, and gender and sexuality studies, with a particular emphasis on queer maritime history focusing on Britain's navy during the age of sail.
