Bio: I work at the Huygens Institute for the History of the Netherlands in The Hague and am responsible for the development of a new version of the Dutch history portal Historici.nl. I hold a Ph.D. in modern (Jewish) history from the European University Institute in Florence. I am an experienced researcher, lecturer and web developer with an active interest in Jewish History/Yiddish Studies, digital humanities and digital history. I also act as developer and editor of the internet portals European History Primary Sources and Yiddish Sources (see links). In addition to my work in Jewish social and political history, I am particularly interested in the methodological implications of using new technologies in historical research and writing. |
