2011 NEH SEMINAR FOR SCHOOL TEACHERS: THE DUTCH REPUBLIC AND BRITAIN: THE MAKING OF MODERN SOCIETY AND A EUROPEAN WORLD ECONOMY

This five-week National Endowment for the Humanities Summer Seminar for school teachers, directed by Dr. Gerard M. Koot, University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, will investigate how a region of northwest Europe, centered on the North Sea, acquired the characteristics that historians have labeled modern.


We will study how the economy of the Dutch Republic rose to preeminence in the new European world economy of the seventeenth century, how Britain acquired this supremacy in the eighteenth century, and how it transformed itself to become an industrial nation.


The seminar will meet at the Institute for Historical Research at the University of London for the first week and at the Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies in Wassenaar (near The Hague) for four weeks.


NEH will provide a stipend of $3900 toward expenses. For an application and a full explanation of the seminar, go to this link.
