Consumerism 1870-1940
One of my research projects is on consumerism and the supplier network. Based on the administration of a Hotel 1870-1940 (the purchases from the book of creditors), I analyze where specific goods were bought, their prices and when new goods were introduced.
Stitswerd circa 1830-1960
As an undergraduate student I did research on rural society, farmers, peasants and rural laborers. I took several classes with dr. Gerard Trienekens and he was one of my PhD-supervisors. It just seems right to return to the subject. So every now and then I collect data on a small village in the 'Hogeland' region called Stitswerd.
Questions I try to answer are: who lived in this village; what did these men and women do for a living; who owned the houses and the land in the village and how did the living conditions of the inhabitants develop over time?
Jewish Real Estate 1940-1955
During the Second World War Jewish properties were stolen and sold. Some of the real estate was bought by city-councils and government officials.
In 2021, with a team, I did research on this topic in the city of Groningen and its surrounding villages. This was publihed as a free PDF report.
In 2022 and 2023 I did follow-ups on the (small) city of Coevorden and the twin city of Kampen-IJsselmuiden. These were interesting towns with relatively large Jewish populations.
On Coevorden an article (in Dutch) was published. The report on Kampen-IJsselmuiden was published at WBooks publishers.
