About

Welcome to the website of Gerben Zaagsma. I am an Assistant Professor in Contemporary and Digital History at the Centre for Contemporary and Digital History (C²DH) of the University of Luxemburg. With a background in modern Jewish/Yiddish history, my current research and teaching is mostly in the fields of digital and public history, Holocaust and genocide studies, as well as music history.

Before joining C²DH in August 2017, I worked in a number of different places and settings, see my CV for more information. My current research focuses on the history of digital history, as well as the politics of digitisation and digitised cultural heritage, seen from a global perspective. You can also check my talks and list of publications. Several recent papers and lectures can be found on Zenodo.
