Eline Ceulemans is a PhD fellow at the University of Antwerp, where she is currently finishing her dissertation tentatively titled ‘Small Players in the Big Game: King Leopold II's Diplomatic Brokers in Late Qing China’, funded by Research Foundation – Flanders (FWO). Her research, published in the Journal of Belgian History, The Hague Journal of Diplomacy, and Diplomatica, predominantly concentrates on the discursive and performative power of Belgian intermediaries within this diplomacy-empire nexus. Her interests in (the ramifications of) Leopoldian expansionism, the broader colonial world, and its related theories, practices, and embodiments also translate into societal engagements.
