Janna Everaert (Gent, 1990) studied history at the University of Ghent where she graduated in 2012 with a MA dissertation on the Dutch/Flemish presence in and around the city of Valladolid in the sixteenth century. She obtained a teacher degree in 2013 at the University of Antwerp and an Advanced Master in Archival Studies in 2014 at the Vrije Universiteit Brussel with a MA dissertation on the valorisation of the archives in museums named after their founder. As of October 2014 she works as a doctoral researcher at HOST (Historical Research into Urban Transformation Processes) and CSG (Centrum voor Stadsgeschiedenis), where she prepares a PhD on the urban elites in late medieval Antwerp (ca. 1400 – 1550) under the supervision of Prof. dr. Frederik Buylaert (VUB) and Prof. dr. Peter Stabel (UA). The research focusses on the impact of the economic and demographic growth of Antwerp on the urban elites.
