It's been exactly a year since I defended my PhD at the @ensdelyon.bsky.social !
As anything French, it can be divided in three points: 1) trying keep the stress at bay by spending time in nature in Parc de la tête d'or, 2) D-DAY! and 3) well-earned unhealthy reward the day after.

Happy and honoured to attend the European Historical Economics Society conference at the Uni of Hohenheim as a finalist for the Gino Luzzatto PhD prize! I will talk about how studying pedlars can better our understanding of commercial change & the State's economic behaviour towards the poor.

In de weekendbijlage van @gazetvanantwerpen.bsky.social verscheen een stuk over mijn doctoraatsonderzoek. De stad is vandaag enkel wat ze is omdat zoveel Antwerpenaren in de 19de eeuw hun deur openstelden voor arbeidsmigranten. Met drie in één bed, of met 10 op één kamer, was geen uitzondering.
Met drie in één bed, met tien op één kamer: hoe reizigers en arbeidsmigranten logeerden in het 19de-eeuwse Antwerpen
