Dr Justyna Wubs-Mrozewycz new board member N.W. Posthumus Institute

Recently, Dr Justyna Wubs-Mrozewicz has joined our General Board as representative of the University of Amsterdam. This position became vacant because Dr Danielle van den Heuvel has recently been appointed Professor of Social and Economic History at Utrecht University.

Dr Wubs is Associate Professor in Medieval History at the University of Amsterdam. Her research interests are premodern conflict management, mobility, identity and alterity, intergroup dynamics, language and communication and hence also the Hanse, premodern commercial cities in Europe, premodern maritime trade in Europe, and food and drink in medieval Europe. Over the past five years (2018-2023) she was the Principal Investigator of the NWO VIDI project ‘Managing multi-level conflicts in commercial cities in Northern Europe (c. 1350-1750)’.

The General Board sincerely welcomes Justyna as new board member!
