Marianne Klerk is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Humanities at Erasmus University College. She is a historian specializing in the impact of early modern warfare on society, exploring subjects across disciplines such as history, political thought, and military history. Her research broadly examines how history influences the understanding of the present, and vice versa. For instance, she investigates the 'culture war' of the early modern Dutch Republic, aiming to bridge the gap between visions of tolerance in a small republic during its 'Golden Age' and the violent conquests associated with its global empire and slavery. Additionally, as a journalist and editor, she focuses on issues like gentrification, equality, and identity within Rotterdam. Klerk is passionate about teaching and public engagement, integrating her interdisciplinary research with a love for education.
