Wissenschaftlicher Werdegang

Sophie Rose recently completed her PhD at Leiden University, the Netherlands, where she formed part of the collaborative research project Resilient Diversity: The governance of racial and religious plurality in the Dutch empire, 1600-1800. In addition to her research, which involved archival work in The Hague, Amsterdam, London, and Jakarta, she taught History and Academic Writing courses at Leiden University. Her first book, Regulating Relations: Intimacy and social (dis)order in the early modern Dutch empire (based on her dissertation) is in preparation. Her current research project, which started in 2022 at the University of Duisburg-Essen, focuses on alien legislation and wider questions of belonging in the Dutch-Caribbean island of Curaçao during the Age of Revolutions (roughly the 1780s to the 1820s). This research forms part of the project, led by Prof.Dr. Jan Jansen, titled Ambiguity and Disambiguation of Belonging – The Regulation of Alienness in the Caribbean during the Revolutionary Era (1780s–1820s) which is funded by the DFG and part of the interdisciplinary research unit 2600 “Ambguität und Unterscheidung”, hosted at the University of Duisburg-Essen. Sophie also regularly collaborates with the ERC-project “Atlantic Exiles” at the University of Tübingen.
