I’m a media historian, with special interests in broadcasting, transnational processes and cultures, archives, women’s history and a few other things. I am Assistant Professor for Media and Culture at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. I am also a migrant, a dad, a Gen-Xer, and a widower. Sometimes I write about those things, too.
