Output registration in Pure
On behalf of Irene Zwiep, we would like to ask you to register your 2019 research output in Pure. Two helpful tips:
- Please add an attachment/ DOI or link to your publication whenever possible. Records with attachments are validated with priority by the UB and will therefore sooner be accessible in DARE.
- The status of publications that are not published yet (in preparation, submitted, accepted/ in press, e-pub ahead of print, unpublished) should remain on "entry in progress". Once it is published you can add the publication details and change the status to "for approval". This way it will not clutter our ASH workflow in Pure, thanks!

Rosa de Jong
Rosa de Jong has recently joined ASH as a PhD researcher. She has studied History and Philosophy and previously worked at the Royal Netherlands Institute of Southeast Asian and Caribbean Studies. Her NWO-funded project From European ports to Caribbean homes: Second World War refugees in global transit researches the refugees fleeing to the Caribbean during the Second World War from the Netherlands. They arrived in countries with multicultural societies under different colonial regimes. This project investigates how the interaction between governmental institutions and the agency of the refugees influenced the course of their flight and subsequent fate. The research aims to provide insight into overseas flight migration during wartime.
