Info
Frank Marquardt is postdoctoral researcher and manager for Digitization and Meta Data of the Anglo-German Prize Papers Project (www.prizepapers.de).
Furthermore, he is a lecturer for Early Modern History at the Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, Germany. He was also actively involved in the "VillaGeistreich" for research-orientated learning in schools and with students.
In his PhD project, he focused on the self-narratives of Herrnhut missionaries in the Danish Caribbean colonies and analysed their reflections of Afro-Caribbean converts, colonial authorities and various other actors in the highly dynamic colonial arrangements. He examined disciplinary practices, understandings of space, rituals of identity formation and processes of "othering".
He is currently interested in the field of academic management and digital humanities due to his commitments in the Prize Papers project.
