Specialising in matters of restitution and German art of the twentieth century, with a particular focus on the art and cultural policy of the Weimar Republic, Dr Middelkoop joins us from Wolfson College where she is currently Junior Research Fellow in Modern European History working on the project 'A Thing of Fragile Beauty: Porcelain, War and Plunder in the Third Reich'. She will be convening the Part IIA course 'Approaches to the History of Art and Architecture' and managing the Lent term of the Part IIB course The Display of Art, as well as contributing to other courses and offering dissertation supervision for Part I and Part II students. We look forward to welcoming her to the Department.
