Promotores are Professor Kaat Wils (KU Leuven) and Professor Bert De Munck (University of Antwerp), with Professor Patrick Loobuyck (University of |Antwerp) as co-promotor. Focusing on ‘Vincentian’ charities for lay women and men, Hannah’s study explores the intricate relationship between the spiritual and social objectives of charity in Belgium. Spanning from the early 1840s to the tumultuous era of the Second World War, the investigation traces the Vincentian organization’s development amid societal transformations
