Bart Lambert studied medieval history at Ghent University, where he completed his PhD on the Italian commercial presence in the Burgundian Low Countries in 2011. He worked as a post-doctoral researcher on the AHRC-funded ‘England’s Immigrants, 1330-1550’ project and the HERA-project ‘CitiGen: Identity, Citizenship and Nationhood in the Post-Genome Era’ at the University of York (2012-2014 and 2016-2018) and as a lecturer at Durham University (2014-2016).
