Corine has a BA degree in history and continued her studies at Utrecht University completing the Research Master Ancient Studies. She finished a master-apprenticeship for prof. P. Iossif, focusing on Seleucid coinage, which resulted in a numismatic publication and she did an internship at VALUE Foundation at the same time, studying the past in video games. She continued in this field, writing her master thesis about antiquity in video games, specifically the representation of Rome's enemies and is persistently delving into this medium in her current PhD project at Leiden University within the project ’Playful Time Machines’. Here she is preoccupied with the mechanics of video games set in the past and analyzing how they make these Time Machines tick.
