Dr. Gert Gielis
Digitization & Crowdsourcing
Dr. Gert Gielis is a historian of the early modern era with wide-ranging interests but a particular predilection for the XVIth century Low Countries. His research focused on the histories of religious repression, such as inquisition and censorship, demonstrating the importance of grace and reconciliation in the early modern era. Since childhood, Gert has had a great fondness for stories and storytelling in all their variations. Unsurprisingly, Gert is a book lover who prefers to be near books and archives. As a great supporter of citizen science and an expert in volunteer management Gert is keen to explore the opportunities of doing historical research with a group of history buffs.
