Lith Lefranc
Lith Lefranc works as a PhD researcher at UAntwerp, under the supervision of Ilja Van Damme and Mike Kestemont. She studies the impact of urban modernisation processes on the social stratification of Antwerp nightlife from a data-driven perspective. Using local police reports (1870-1940), she tries to understand the social dynamics that shaped the nightscape in the past and hopes to create new visions of nocturnal street use.
