Catherine Tatiana Dunlop is an associate professor of modern European history at Montana State University, Bozeman. She received her PhD in history from Yale University in 2010. Her work explores the connections among visual culture, geography, and environmental history in modern France. Dunlop’s first book, Cartophilia: Maps and the Search for Identity in the French-German Borderland, was published by the University of Chicago Press in 2015. Her latest book, Mistral: A Windswept History of Modern France (University of Chicago Press, 2024), based on her work at the Rachel Carson Center, explores how people from different backgrounds—including sailors, farmers, doctors, writers, and painters—interacted with southern France’s famous wind.

Over the course of her career, Dunlop’s scholarship has been supported by the Camargo Foundation, the Aspen Institute, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Georges Lurcy Foundation, and the Mellon Foundation. At Montana State, she enjoys teaching a range of thematic courses in French and European history, including Nature and Culture in Modern Europe, Mapping the World, and Visual History.
