About Christina Reimann

After my Master's degree in History and Political Theory at Sciences Po Paris, I earned my PhD in history in 2014 at the Humboldt-University Berlin with a thesis on education reforms and constitutional change in late-nineteenth-century Belgium, England and France. After post-doc stations in Marburg, Mainz, Gothenburg and Stockholm, I am since 2024 researcher at the University of Gothenburg.

I am a modern historian with an interest in transnational and gender histories. My research primarily deals with port cities as complex spaces of accelerated social and cultural change, as portals of migrations and globalization processes from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century. I have been focusing particularly on the cities of Rotterdam and Antwerp and in my current project I study the performativity of politics and gender in Le Havre and Gothenburg in the interwar period.

I have been a temporary lecturer in history at Humboldt and Marburg University and in autumn 2023 was a guest lecturer at the French-German campus of Sciences Po Paris in Nancy. Since 2017, I have taught at the University of Gothenburg. I teach at undergraduate and postgraduate level mainly in modern history but also in more ancient history and on the European programme at the Social Sciences Faculty.
