Dorothee Sturkenboom is a Dutch historian with a preference for the early modern period. She works on research themes that touch on contemporary social issues and prefers to carry out her research in the boundary areas between cultural history, social history, and gender studies. The subjects of her publications include
- what emotions meant to our ancestors
- national stereotypes and the making of social identities
- changing ideas on sexual differences and the relationship between men and women
- the distribution of scientific knowledge in society
After having been based at the Institute for Genderstudies at the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands for a number of years, Sturkenboom spent the period between 2000 and 2002 working as a postdoctoral fellow of the National Science Foundation associated with the University of California at Los Angeles. In the subsequent years she first worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the VU University Amsterdam on a research project financed with a 'Veni' grant from the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research, and then as a University Lecturer in History at the Roosevelt Academy at Middelburg. In 2010 she decided to continue her career as independent scholar.
