Research

Alessandra De Mulder graduated from the University of Antwerp in 2018 with a master's thesis on the perception of eighteenth-century disaster victims in Dutch newspapers. She is finishing her PhD at the Centre for Urban History (CSG/CUH) at the University of Antwerp, working on a project about value constructions in eighteenth-century London auction advertisements. Her current research focuses on second-hand household goods and examines the continuity and change in the metropolitan consumer mentality by combining digital and more traditional heuristic methodologies.
