Meeter Center Summer 2021 Visiting Scholar Presentation: Christine Kooi Reformations

Here is the next presentation in our summer webinar series, featuring Christine Kooi.  Dr. Kooi is the Lewis C. and Katheryn J. Price Professor of European History at Louisiana State University, and the 2020 recipient of our Friends of the Meeter Center Fellowship.  She will speak about her forthcoming book, _Reformation in the Low Countries, 1500-1620_, which is slated to be published by Cambridge University Press next year.  This project is the first-ever book-length narrative in English of the Reformation in entirety of the Low Countries (modern-day Belgium, Luxemburg and the Netherlands). An attempt to synthesize more than a half-century's worth of scholarly research on religious change (Protestant and Catholic) in the Netherlands during the sixteenth century, it focuses on the relationship between religion and politics, especially its contribution to the Revolt of the Netherlands against the Habsburgs and the formation of the region's two successor states, the Dutch Republic and the Southern Netherlands.
