Time for an #introduction. I'm a historian (#histodons) working on the history of #tea, #coffee and other #intoxicants in #17thcentury and #18thcentury Hamburg/Germany. I'm interested in #earlymodern #bodies, #medicine, #materialculture and #consumption, and #practices of #sendingstuff.

Previously on the #IntoxicatingSpaces team (www.intoxicatingspaces.org), I now work on the #PrizePapers Project (www.prizepapers.de) at Oldenburg University.

Further loves: #baroquemusic, #earlymusic, #viola.
