About
Most of my research and teaching deals with the history of nationalism and state-building since the Enlightenment, focusing particularly on the revolutionary and Napoleonic era, c.1780-1830. I am especially interested in transnational approaches – not only concerning the genesis of European nation-states, but also the interconnectedness of the Revolutions worldwide. Education
I studied economic and social history at the University of Amsterdam, where I also received my Ph.D. in 2007. Up to 2010 I was a postdoctoral fellow at the history department at Leiden University. Subsequently, I lectured history and European studies at the University of Amsterdam, and in 2012 was appointed Assistant Professor of cultural history at the Open Universiteit Nederland.
