Alexander Laar is a Research Fellow and Post-Award Member at New College, University of Oxford. His research focuses on exploring humanist networks of knowledge and reading practices within historical library collections, specifically examining the Queen's College Old Library through the Open-Oxford-Cambridge Doctoral Training Partnership.
His doctoral work, supervised by Dr. William Poole, investigates how early modern libraries functioned as intellectual hubs, analyzing manuscript annotations and circulation patterns to reconstruct scholarly communities. This interdisciplinary approach bridges book history, cultural studies, and historical sociology.
Laar's current projects emphasize material culture analysis and digital humanities methodologies to map intellectual networks across archives. No specific awards or grants are listed, though his Post-Award Membership suggests postdoctoral research funding.
