Later this semester in the Colloquium on the History of International Relations, this Friday at the University auditorium (Aula): Samuël Kruizinga. The public defense of his dissertation, entitled Economische politiek. De Nederlandsche Overzee Trustmaatschappij (1914-1919) en de Eerste Wereldoorlog (Economic politics[policy]: The Dutch Overseas Trust Company, 1914-1919, and the First World War) will commence at 13 hours sharp. Samuël should correct me, but I think the Dutch word "politiek" in the title can and should be taken in both senses of the word. I look forward to seeing the book (or else ask him about it when he talks to our Colloquium, next month). Public dissertation defenses are good ways to learn something about the topic, and the research, at hand, and the receptions that follow not only provide drinks and snacks, but also opportunities to meet new people. Check it out if you can!
