Christine Fertig
I am a social and economic historian with a broad expertice in the history of material culture, consumption and early modern globalisation, rural society, social inequality, familiy and social networks, and a strong interest in the implementation of digital methods in historical research.
Since 2016 I am assistant professor (Juniorprofessorin) of Modern History and Social History at the University of Münster. Since June 2024 I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Centre for Urban History, University of Antwerp.
I am a first generation academic, single mum of two and an enthusiastic scientist. In addition to academic and care work, I love to spend time in nature, and I am passionate about theatre and textile art.
