Nana Citron

Nana Citron is a Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of Oslo, Norway, affiliated with the ERC-funded project BE4COPY (Before Copyright). She holds a BA in Culture and Technology (2019) and an MA in History and Theory of Science and Technology (2022) from the Technical University of Berlin. As a Visiting Predoctoral Fellow at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science (MPIWG), she advances her PhD project on women's knowledge traditions in early modern printing businesses and their interaction with printing privileges. Her work is supervised by Marius Buning (BE4COPY) and co-supervised by Matteo Valleriani (MPIWG).

Her research focuses on female printers’ roles in 16th–17th century Germany, examining how printing privileges facilitated business continuity and analyzing gendered knowledge dynamics in co-owned printshops. Methodologically, she integrates history of science, book history, digital humanities, feminist epistemology, and sociological theory.

No specific awards are noted, though her participation in prestigious ERC-funded and MPIWG programs indicates scholarly recognition. Current projects emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to underrepresented actors in early modern knowledge systems.
