Teddy Chappell, 'Wine in Early Modern Tuscany'
Wednesday 4 June 2025

Teddy Chappell defended his dissertation last year on the development of Tuscan wine as a cultural and commercial commodity in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in the Department of History at the University of Pennsylvania. This research explores how the Chianti that is now world famous emerged from an unlikely encounter between Florentine elites seeking fine wines that could represent Tuscany abroad and the peasant sharecroppers in the surrounding countryside—an encounter in which not only goods but also knowledge and tastes were exchanged. He currently works at Penn as an academic advisor. He looks forward to discussing not only his dissertation research but also navigating research and publication from an “alt-academia” position.
