Career

Broomhall's projects with the CHE analyse medieval and early modern objects and emotions, particularly as they are presented in modern museum, heritage and tourism environments. Her research explores i) the interpretation of medieval and early modern objects in the history of emotional processes and practices; ii) the affective origins of specific medieval and early modern objects; iii) the emotional interpretation of medieval and early modern objects in museum, gallery and tourism contexts; and iv) affective materiality.

Her Future Fellow research project focuses on emotions and power in the correspondence of Catherine de Medici. She has also published extensively, with Jacqueline van Gent, on the history of the Nassau-Orange dynasty in the early modern Netherlands.[4]
