Authors' bio
Anne Winter is Professor of History at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and part of SHOC research team (Social History of Capitalism). Her research deals with the social and economic history of the Low Countries in the early modern period and long nineteenth century in an internationally comparative perspective, with a focus on the interactions between migration, social policy, urbanization and labour relations.
Jasper Segerink is a PhD-candidate at the Centre for Urban History (University of Antwerp). Since 2020, he is working on his project “Accommodating (im)mobility. Lodging houses as hubs between global flows and local urban life”. This project investigates the role of lodging houses in the nineteenth-century city from the perspective of migration and urbanisation. His main research interests lie in migration history, urban history and labour history. He has published on this topic in Urban History, Arrival Neighbourhoods (ed. D. Templin, Routledge), and Social History (forthcoming). From 2025, he will take up a postdoctoral position at YUFE (Young Universities for Europe).
