Career
Dr. Maurits den Hollander's main areas of teaching and research are the legal and institutional history of the middle ages and the early modern period. Throughout his work, he strives to embed legal developments into their broader social, economic, and cultural context, taking into regard both local and global dimensions. Maurits wrote a doctoral dissertation on insolvency legislation and practices in seventeenth century Amsterdam at Tilburg University (cum laude), after having pursued an MA in History at the Universities of Leiden and St. Andrews. His work has been published in journals such as Comparative Legal History and TSEG - The Low Countries Journal of Social and Economic History. Maurits' current projects include a monograph based upon his dissertation, as well as leading the Starter Grant project 'Professionals and the People'.
