Biography

Annemieke Romein obtained her PhD at Erasmus University in 2016 on a comparative study of the political terminology of fatherland, patria and patriot in Hessen-Kassel, Gulik and Bretagne. In 2017 she received an NWO Rubicon grant with which she worked in Ghent from September 2017 to February 2020 on a project on political-institutional / legal history, a comparison between the regions of Flanders and Holland between 1576-1702. She was also project leader of the Digital Humanities “Entangled Histories” project at the National Library of the Netherlands in The Hague; here she was as a Researcher-in-Residence from May to October 2019. From 2020 she will be working at Huygens ING where she will continue her research into early modern provincial regulations with her NWO Veni project ‘A Game of Thrones?’. This is a comparison between Holland, Guelders and Bern in the period 1576-1702.
