Hagen Gersie, M.A.

I am a doctoral researcher at the HCCH, where my research focuses on how object provenances are communicated in museums. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, my research explores how museums engage with the historical entanglements and tensions embodied in their collections.

Prior to joining the HCCH, I studied Cultural Studies and International Cultural Policy, focusing on literature, at the universities of Hildesheim, Lüneburg and Pretoria.
