The conference “American-Dutch Connections in the Revolutionary Era” will take place on December 11-12, 2025, at the RIAS in Middelburg.

It will bring together scholars from Europe and the United States to explore the political, commercial, and cultural ties between the Dutch Republic and America during the age of revolutions. The program includes thematic panels, a keynote lecture by Nathan Perl-Rosenthal, and a closing discussion on American-Dutch connections in the revolutionary context.

We are pleased that Université Paris 8/Transcrit had the opportunity to contribute as a sponsor.
