I have joined the History Department as lecturer in modern and contemporary European history with a special focus on Central and Eastern Europe. My main interests lie in intellectual and cultural history of modern Europe, Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth century, Jewish history and the history of the Holocaust as well as questions of history and memory.
I received my BA from University College Utrecht and both my MA and PhD from the Central European University in Budapest, the latter with a dissertation in Hungarian Jewish intellectual history. More recently, I have been employed as a postdoctoral researcher at the Imre Kertész Kolleg Jena where I have coordinated a project on the cultural and intellectual history of Central and Eastern Europe in the twentieth century.
