Post-doctoral researcher at University of Erfurt, History Department, affiliated to the Chair of History and Cultures of Spaces in the Modern Era (Susanne Rau). My current project focuses on sensory histories of ice cream making and eating as well as taste cultures at courts and in middle class consumer culture (1770–1850).
