From January 2021 to March 2024, Charlotte was as a research assistant at the History Department of the University of Göttingen within a project funded by the German Lost Art Foundation. In this context, she also became an associate member of the PAESE joint project. Additionally, she began her PhD project on the global wildlife trade in December 2021, for which she obtained various fellowships. Charlotte completed her Master's degree in History and Philosophy of Knowledge at ETH Zurich, graduating with a global history thesis on the treatment of a museum collection of colonial objects from Oceania. In addition to studying history, philosophy, cultural studies and political science, she interned at the German Historical Institute London and collaborated with Decolonize Erfurt for an exhibition on colonialism in Erfurt. She is also a member of the educational association ZHKolonial. Her research interests include global history, the history of knowledge, the history of body and emotion, and historical human-animal studies.
