Welcome to the ePortfolio of Dr Deborah Toner.

I completed my PhD in the History Department at the University of Warwick in December 2009. I began this research in September 2006 after completing a taught MA in The History of Race in the Americas and a BA (honours) in History, also at Warwick.

These pages contain information about me, my research, my teaching, and my continuous professional development. If you have a particular interest in me, my work and my plans, you are welcome to contact me for more information at D.Toner@warwick.ac.uk

About My Research

Department: History

Supervisor: Dr Rebecca Earle

Research topic: Alcohol and Nation-Building in Nineteenth Century Mexican Fiction: My doctoral research explores the thematic use of alcohol in Mexican literature as part of a nineteenth century nation-building discourse that sought to confront the deep social, political and cultural divisions that separated various groups within the emerging nation. The broad themes I deal with are drinking spaces, masculinity, citizenship and the body, alcoholism as a medical concept, and failure.
