Congratulations to Isabelle Riepe!
Our former co-convenor, Isabelle Riepe, just defended her dissertation The material culture of Weltliteratur: History and the German book trade 1773-1867 last week. Dr Riepe has wonderfully demonstrated the richness and insightfulness of the material culture approach to our understanding of the practice and consumption of history and literature.
We are incredibly happy to be with her at the end of her journey at the EUI. Isabelle has always done so much for the Working Group, whether organising events, sharing her knowledge with new members, contributing to conferences, and giving a new life to this blog. She has been a model for the team and a source of endless and joyful support. Now we look forward to seeing how this ambassador of Material Culture will continue her promising career.
Good luck Isa, and thank you!
