Posthumus staff welcomes Midas van de Weetering as student assistant

As of 16 May 2022, the staff of the N.W. Posthumus Institute will be temporarily (until June 2023) supported by student assistant Midas van de Weetering. Midas is currently in the second year of his BA in History at Utrecht University, taking part in the specialisation ‘Societal Challenges’ as well as in the Humanities Honours Programme. His main interest lies with social and economic history, mainly because of the unique perspectives it offers on the long-term development of societies. As student assistant, Midas will be supporting the regular staff in administrative issues as well as in the preparation and practicalities of events such as the annual Posthumus Conference.

The Posthumus staff welcomes Midas and is looking forward to a fruitfull cooperation.
