Profile

I am a historian and linguist specialised in social and cultural history. Lately, I have mostly been focusing on the interface of language and cultural development, language development and food history, while engaging interdeiciplinary research that touches methods and results of historiography, linguistics, archaeology, cultural anthropology, sociology and digital humanities. Public outreach, as in the communication of scientific results of the humanities to a broader audience, has been of my key focus areas as well.
