Researcher

Julie De Groot

Research Expertise:My research expertise is situated within material culture studies, at the intersection of history, art history and heritage studies. My research deals with material culture in the late medieval and early modern period (with a focus on housing, interior and furniture) on the one hand, and the biography of objects within a museum context and the interaction between visitors, curators and these objects on the other. I currently teach 2 courses within Conservation, Restoration and Heritage Studies: 'Project Management of Movable and Intangible Heritage' and 'Historical Interiors, Styles and Furniture'. In addition, I am involved in numerous heritage projects and research projects, always on the topics of palaeography, material culture, museology and design history.

Disciplines:History, Development of methods and techniques, History of historical culture, Historical materials and production methods, Collections heritage, Museology, Interior architecture heritage and conservation
