Van Donkersgoed went on to earn her bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s from Leiden University, specialising in public archaeology and archaeological heritage, areas which she believed would be both hands-on but also provide secure job prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, during an exchange programme in New Jersey at Rutgers University, where she would later earn her PhD in cultural heritage and preservation studies, she attended a UNESCO conference about cultural landscapes. \u201cI became very interested in this connection between nature and humans and how we have co-created landscapes together,\u201d she recalls.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Her PhD research focused on the cultural landscape of the Banda Islands in Indonesia, with a focus on community empowerment\u2014something that greatly influences her overall research and approach. \u201cI believe that the past is very polyvocal and has multiple narratives, that there are multiple realities, and that throughout the process of creating history, creating archives, it\u2019s the elitist, male, white perspective that has often dominated,\u201d she explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quote-people\">\n    <div class=\"quote-people\" role=\"group\">\n        <figure class=\"quote-people__body\">\n            <blockquote class=\"quote-people__blockquote\">\n    <span class=\"quote-people__quote\">\u201f<\/span>\n    Through public engagement, through bottom-up approaches, we can empower those unheard voices and make history more inclusive, more comprehensive\u201d\n<\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper quote-people__visual\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Jo\u00eblla van Donkersgoed\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24105743\/Joelle-Van-Donkersgoed.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24105743\/Joelle-Van-Donkersgoed-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24105743\/Joelle-Van-Donkersgoed-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24105743\/Joelle-Van-Donkersgoed-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24105743\/Joelle-Van-Donkersgoed.jpg 1200w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 1\/1; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-wrapper quote-people__figcaption\">\n<p class=\"quote-people__author wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Jo\u00eblla Van Donkersgoed<\/p>\n\n\n<p class=\"quote-people__position wp-block-unilux-blocks-plain-text\">Postdoctoral researcher<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-simple-cta\">\n    <a\n        href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/people\/joella-van-donkersgoed\/\"\n        title=\"View Profile\"\n        class=\"link-text link-text--icon quote-people__link\"\n        target=\"\"\n    >\n        <span class=\"link-text__body\">\n            <span class=\"link-text__name\">View profile<\/span>\n        <\/span>\n        <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>    <\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n        <\/figure>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-md\"><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"establishing-trust-with-local-communities\"\n    >\nEstablishing trust with local communities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p> Van Donkersgoed is the founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/historesch.lu\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Historesch Gesinn<\/a> project which she has led since its launch. The project, funded by FNR PSP-Flagship, aims to build a social hub where the public can engage with research being carried out at the C<sup>2<\/sup>DH. Given that the C<sup>2<\/sup>DH is relatively young, Van Donkersgoed saw the need to establish trust with different communities in Luxembourg, especially as researchers come and go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>Cultural institutions are welcome to collaborate with the platform, and topics can be quite broad. One example is a project that was organised with the Luxembourg City Museum for its Urban History Festival through which Historesch Gesinn helped develop an audio tour with oral histories from Bonnevoie. \u201cHearHere\u201d signs in the neighbourhood included a toll-free phone number for passers-by to access the audio tour, available in English, Luxembourgish, French and Portuguese versions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--cover\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Bonnevoie audio guide\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24111201\/Bonnevoie-audio-guide.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24111201\/Bonnevoie-audio-guide-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24111201\/Bonnevoie-audio-guide-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24111201\/Bonnevoie-audio-guide-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24111201\/Bonnevoie-audio-guide.jpg 1200w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: cover; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 4\/3; object-fit: cover; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:33.33%\"><figure class=\"wp-block-dev4-reusable-blocks-image  object-fit--contain\">\n    \n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-block-image unilux-custom-image-block\"\n                alt=\"Archive photo of gardening\"\n            src=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24124517\/Archive-photo-gardening.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24124517\/Archive-photo-gardening-187x300.jpg 187w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24124517\/Archive-photo-gardening-638x1024.jpg 638w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24124517\/Archive-photo-gardening-768x1233.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/7\/2025\/10\/24124517\/Archive-photo-gardening.jpg 934w\"\n                style=\"object-position: 50.00% 50.00%; font-family: &quot;object-fit: contain; object-position: 50.00% 50.00%;&quot;; aspect-ratio: 3\/4; object-fit: contain; width: 100%;\"\n        loading=\"lazy\"\n\/>    <\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:66.66%\">\n<p>During the project, Van Donkersgoed says they asked locals about community gardens. As a result, some of the interviewees provided their own personal photos. Van Donkersgoed is particularly fond of an image of a grandmother in a garden. Another photo includes four men in front of a garden shed, smiling, enjoying a drink together. \u201cCommunity gardens are interesting because they also show this multicultural society we\u2019re living in and the exchange of recipes and horticultural traditions that took place in these spaces,\u201d Van Donkersgoed explains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt makes history so much closer when you get these personal stories and insights,\u201d Van Donkersgoed adds. Together with Denis Scuto, she has launched a new initiative to collect photographs, memories, and memorabilia related to the rich <a href=\"https:\/\/historesch.lu\/en\/jeunesse\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">history of the Jeunesse football club in Esch sur Alzette<\/a>. The aim of this crowdsourcing campaign is to contribute to a future museum in the club\u2019s new clubhouse, showcasing the stories of its players, coaches, and supporters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"an-open-door-policy\"\n    >\nAn open-door policy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Managing the Historesch Gesinn platform is time intensive and involves uploading files, promoting events, even organising translations, as the website is in five languages. Van Donkersgoed gets help from a student assistant, Tatiana Martins Da Costa, and the pair are constantly experimenting to find the best ways to engage with the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Donkersgoed also enjoys networking with other researchers at the C\u00b2DH and likes how the centre builds on the strengths it has. Doctoral researcher V\u00e9ronique Faber, for instance, has been researching the Schueberfouer as part of the Popkult60 project. Through this research, she was in touch with the Magica Club L\u00ebtzebuerg, which had a photo album with magicians, many of whom couldn\u2019t be identified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project was a good fit for Historesch Gesinn. \u201cWe digitised some of the photographs, put them online, and developed a new tool where poeople can click on the faces on the pictures and identify who they are,\u201d Van Donkersgoed explains. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to gain more information about these social events, which is very much a part of living memory.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Van Donkersgoed also praises the C\u00b2DH\u2019s flat hierarchy. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to engage with people from different tracks, from different parts of the centre. You can very easily create connections across research areas. The open-door policy works really well here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n<section class=\"section section wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-discover-section\">\n    <div class=\"container xl:max-w-screen-xl\">\n        \n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-unilux-blocks-heading\"        id=\"portrait-series\"\n    >\nPortrait series<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-discover quick-link-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-quick-link-discover-item\">\n    <a\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/c2dh-en\/research\/faces-of-the-c2dh\/\"\n                    class=\"quick-link\"\n            target=\"\"\n    >\n            <span class=\"quick-link__container\">\n                <span class=\"quick-link__text\">\n                    Faces of the C\u00b2DH &#8211; a team beyond borders                <\/span>\n                <svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" class=\"icon icon-outline icon--arrow-right \"><use xlink:href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/wp-content\/themes\/unilux-theme\/assets\/images\/icons\/icons-outline.svg#icon--arrow-right\"><\/use><\/svg>            <\/span>\n    <\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n    <\/div>\n<\/section><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Portrait of public historian Jo\u00eblla van Donkersgoed at the C\u00b2DH.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":10385,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":{"x":0.79,"y":0.4},"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false},"news-category":[4],"news-topic":[382],"organisation":[221,225],"authorship":[57],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.3 (Yoast SEO v22.3) -
