She graduated from Boston University receiving her doctorate in 2016. [2]

Georgini's 2019 book, Household Gods, examines the development of American religious ideas through the lens of John Adams' family. [3] It focuses on white, Protestant religious thought, specifically through the British tradition. [3] She proposes that the family's extensive travel was critical to shaping their religious practice, and that the men of the family were intent on incorporating their family history into the emerging national myth. [3] In reviewing the book, Johnson praises the book's ambition, but criticizes its focus only on the men of the family, and its inaccessibility to non-experts. [3]

Her work has appeared in Smithsonian magazine. [4] She is a member of the Junto, a group blog about the founding of Early America. [5]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">History of the family</span>

The history of the family is a branch of social history that concerns the sociocultural evolution of kinship groups from prehistoric to modern times. The family has a universal and basic role in all societies. Research on the history of the family crosses disciplines and cultures, aiming to understand the structure and function of the family from many viewpoints. For example, sociological, ecological or economical perspectives are used to view the interrelationships between the individual, their relatives, and the historical time. The study of family history has shown that family systems are flexible, culturally diverse and adaptive to ecological and economical conditions.
