Margot Luyckfasseel joined the University of Antwerp as a Junior Research Professor in Modern African History in October 2024. She specializes in Congolese history from below (late 19th century to the present), with a thematic focus on urban-rural relations, language ideologies, and debates on ���authenticity���. Additionally, she is developing an interest in socio-economic themes such as slavery, labor, and trade. She has conducted fieldwork in the cities of Kinshasa, Kisangani, and Gemena, and she prefers to combine oral history and archival sources.
