Constantine is a historian of the early modern Netherlands and the Mediterranean primarily interested in cross-cultural encounters. His dissertation examines European-Ottoman relations between the 1590s and the 1760s. It focuses on a set of key diplomatic practices—gift-giving, ambassadorial rituals, translation, and record-keeping—to compensate for archival silences produced in the context of trans-imperial communication.
