Current Research Projects
Bowes' scholarship combines legal, political and women's history to examine how gender, race and the family shape politics and governance in the United States. Her book manuscript, tentatively titled "Invading the Home: Children, State Power and the Gendered Origins of Modern Conservatism, 1865-1933," traces the emergence of an anti-statist politics rooted in the defense of the white, patriarchal family as the state came to play a larger role in regulating family life.
