Update: Due to the closure of all University of Amsterdam buildings following recent protests, we regret to inform you that "Women on the Move" scheduled for May 14 will not take place as planned. We are currently working to reschedule and will inform you of the new date as soon as it is confirmed.
Following Pierik’s presentation, three (art) historians will reflect on how the themes of women’s freedom of movement and public-private boundaries emerge in their own doctoral research. Ranging from sixteenth-century English poetry (Anna-Rose Shack) to the seventeenth-century Amsterdam art market (Marleen Puyenbroek) and to eighteenth-century Dutch Colonies (Hanna te Velde), the respondents will briefly explore a series of case studies that highlight pre-modern women on the move.
