Academic Review Committee

To ensure the quality of our work and to do justice to the gender perspective, but also to the many ethnicities, migratory flows and regions that come to the fore in the portraits of the ancestors in this project, our review board consists of a group of academics with specialisations that do justice to the gender history & ethno- and geodiversity that makes Our HERiture so special.
