My research moves between four overlapping fields. Each tile below is a curated entry point — a short statement of what I work on within that field, with links to the relevant projects. The same body of work underlies all four; many publications belong to two or three areas at once.
Early Modern Political-Institutional History
Patriot-rhetoric, provincial estates, and the political culture of seventeenth-century Europe — how corporate actors argued about authority, fatherland, and the limits of rule across linguistic and territorial borders.
