My toes are in the earth and my fingers between the folia

I am a historian of art and culture, currently based at Erasmus School of Philosophy at Erasmus University Rotterdam, as a PhD candidate in intellectual history. In this position, I research how history determines and is determined by scholars, cultural and educational institutes, politicians and the wider public. This project is typical for my intellectual interests, because it develops theory for concrete cases over a long timespan.

Via the buttons in the menu, you can find brief introductions to my current and previous research projects and my resume of work experience and publications. Via the pictures below, you can learn about some of my interests outside the scholarly realm, although you might find that these interests are increasingly infiltrating my scholarly endeavors.
