Anthe Baele is a historian and anthropologist and works as a doctoral researcher funded by the Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO) at the Department of History at Ghent University. Her research examines the social uses of history in encounters with the metaphorical “other,” with a particular focus on the reception and negotiation of historical cultures. Central to her work is a critical analysis of civic integration courses as key sites where historical narratives, belonging, and identity are produced, contested, and mediated. In her current doctoral project, Anthe Baele conducts a comparative and ethnographic study of the role of history in civic integration programmes in Flanders and the Netherlands, analysing what governments consider the (hi)story crucial to citizenship, how newcomers engage with historical narratives, how historical culture shapes senses of belonging, and how different historical cultures interact within institutionalized integration settings.
