R.M. Moes (Rozemarijn) MA

Rozemarijn Moes (1997) is a PhD candidate at Radboud University Nijmegen, specialized in social history, history of the nobility and museum education. Combining her interest in castles and socio-economic history, she is currently working on her PhD project: 'Kitchen or Capital? Elite women’s role in financial household and estate management in eighteenth-century Guelders'. The project explores estate management by noble women in Guelders, with special attention to accounting skills, life course and estate-wide accounting systems.

Moes studied history in Nijmegen (BA) and Groningen (MA) and concluded her Master 'History Today: History for the Media, Culture and Heritage sector' cum laude with a thesis on the accounts of three eighteenth-century elite women that was nominated finalist for the Virtus Thesis Award. In 2020 Moes worked as a junior researcher for the 'Verhaal van Gelderland' project, reconstructing Guelders' population numbers from prehistory to now. For this reconstruction she received the Martens van Sevenhoven Award.
