Nicole Diersen
Research assistant in Ancient History at Osnabrück University
After studying Mathematics and History at Osnabrück University I wrote my doctoral thesis on Emotions of Politics in Republican Times also in Osnabrück. I am a resarch assistant in Ancient History at Osnabrück University since 2021 and I am about finishing my habilitation about murderous hellenistic queens, in which I focus gender-based violence. My research interests are gender, emotions and violence. I am also interested in the application of modern sociological concepts to historical studies (e.g. Michel Foucault or Pierre Bourdieu) and social practices and interaction processes. At the moment I organize a network on emotions in Antiquity.
