Tongeren during the Late Roman Period and Early Middle Ages, c. 300–750 CE
The traditional picture is that there is little information about Tongeren, the capital of the civitas Tungrorum in Roman times, from Late Antiquity onwards. In the last twenty years or so, very cautiously, voices have been raised to nuance the story of the general decline of Tongeren from the beginning of the fifth century. A recurring question is whether Tongeren remained inhabited and what its function might have been. A key site is the Roman basilica, the predecessor of an early medieval church. A key figure is the bishop, whose seat was moved to neighbouring Maastricht in the sixth century. Based on an extensive database, a picture of late Roman Tongeren is drawn, with its public and pr...
Het Nieuwe Theaterleren
Summary: Sinds de introductie in 1999 van het schoolvak Culturele Kunstzinnige Vorming (ckv) maken de theatrale podiumkunsten een belangrijk onderdeel uit van cultuureducatie in de bovenbouw van het voortgezet onderwijs. Omdat binnen ckv de receptieve cultuureducatie centraal staat, trekken leerlingen er massaal op uit om culturele activiteiten te ondernemen. Theaterbezoek is vanaf het begin populair. Hierdoor kregen aan de ene kant docenten te maken met een voor het onderwijs tamelijk nieuwe kunstdiscipline; aan de andere kant kregen theaters en theatergezelschappen er een publieksgroep bij, die nog niet zo goed in het Nederlandse theaterwereldje was ingevoerd. In deze studie wordt het veld waar theater en onderwijs elkaar in het kader van CKV ontmoeten, onder de loep genomen.

The Resilience of the Roman Empire
The Resilience of the Roman Empire discusses the relationship between population and regional development in the Roman world from the perspective of archaeology. By adapting a comparative approach, the focus of the volume lies on exploring the various ways in which regional communities actively responded to population growth or decline in order to keep going on the land available to them. The starting point of the theoretical framework for the case studies is the agricultural intensification models developed by Thomas Malthus and Ester Boserup. In order to advance the debate on the validity of these models for identifying the societal and economic pathways of the Roman world, the contributor...
Globalisation and Migration
This book critically examines the new issues and new politics regarding migration in the era of globalisation from a majority world perspective. It examines the current shifts in the global political economy and the effects it has, for example, in relation to rural displacement. When and how does this lead to national and/or transnational migration? We need to examine the ways in which migration is cut across and impacts on the generation of racism and xenophobia in the west. The issue of remittances by migrants to the ‘developing’ nations needs careful study as does the controversial issue of ‘brain drain’ versus ‘brain gain’ through migration. The growing importance of traffick...
And Then the Doors Opened Again
Locked down at home during the first wave of Covid-19, David Weber-Krebs kept on thinking about the day when theatres would open their doors again. At that point, it was somehow difficult to even picture that moment. On the 8th of April, 2020, in the middle of the lockdown, David sent an e-mail to his peers: artists, scholars, curators, and spectators belonging to different art communities. In this e-mail, there was a simple question: What will happen on your first theatre visit after the lockdown? It was an invitation to imagine the future of theatre from this very specific moment when theatres were all closed and when it was not clear how and when and if they would open again.
Dutch American Voices
Brother I cannot tell you what is best for you—staying there or coming here. If it only concerned yourself! would say, stay. But if you are concerned about your descendents I would say, come." Writing from his Michigan farm to relatives back in Overijssel, Jacob Dunnink voiced a perspective at once uniquely his own and typical of his immigrant community in 1856. Dutch American Voices brings together a full spectrum of such perspectives, as expressed in immigrants' letters to their families and friends in the Netherlands. From the terse notes of first-time writers to the polished chronicles of skilled correspondents, the letters are presented in engaging English translations that capture th...
