Korte biografie

Bart Lambert studeerde middeleeuwse geschiedenis aan de Universiteit Gent, waar hij in 2011 doctoreerde met een proefschrift over de Italiaanse handelsaanwezigheid in de Bourgondische Nederlanden. Hij werkte vervolgens als postdoctoraal onderzoeker op het AHRC-project ‘England’s Immigrants, 1330-1550’ en het HERA-project ‘CitiGen: Identity, Citizenship and Nationhood in the Post-Genome Era’ aan de University of York (2012-2014 en 2016-2018) en als docent aan Durham University (2014-2016). Bart vervoegde de Vrije Universiteit Brussel en de onderzoeksgroep HOST (Historisch Onderzoek naar Stedelijke Transformatieprocessen) als docent in 2018. Zijn onderzoek spitst zich toe op de economische, politieke en sociale geschiedenis van de Late Middeleeuwen, met een bijzondere belangstelling voor de studie van internationale handels- en migratiestromen in Europa van de veertiende tot de zestiende eeuw.

Short biography

Bart Lambert studied medieval history at Ghent University, where he completed his PhD on the Italian commercial presence in the Burgundian Low Countries in 2011. He worked as a post-doctoral researcher on the AHRC-funded ‘England’s Immigrants, 1330-1550’ project and the HERA-project ‘CitiGen: Identity, Citizenship and Nationhood in the Post-Genome Era’ at the University of York (2012-2014 and 2016-2018) and as a lecturer at Durham University (2014-2016). Bart joined the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and the HOST (Historical Research into Urban Transformation Processes) research group as an assistant professor in 2018.
