About

I am Ludwig Pelzl, a postdoctoral researcher in history. Currently, I am a visiting fellow at Harvard University, in the framework of the EU-funded Marie-Curie-Fellowship. Before, I have earned my PhD from the European University Institute in wonderful Florence and completed postdocs in Naples and Jerusalem. Most broadly speaking, my research revolves around the question of why we know how old we are (and when this started to matter in the course of the 18th century).
