Background
Nana Citron is a Doctoral Research Fellow at the Department of Archaeology, Conservation and History (IAKH), where she is part of the ERC-funded project Before Copyright. In 2022 she received her MA in History and Theory of Science and Technology from the Technical University of Berlin (Germany), while working at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (Germany) on the project "The Sphere" (since 2017). In 2022 she returned to the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science as a Visiting Predoctoral Fellow to enhance the work on her PhD project. Her project focuses on the knowledge and agency of women in the early modern printing business and their interaction with printing privileges. Her project is supervised by Marius Buning (research group leader of BE4COPY) and co-supervised by Matteo Valleriani (research group leader at the MPIWG).
Academic interests
My current research focusses on gender, law, and power relations in the early modern period. Being trained in the history of science and knowledge, my academic interests also include the circulation of knowledge in the late medieval and early modern period and the development and treatment of scientific knowledge under various historical circumstances.
