We are honoured to welcome Professor Beatrice de Graaf, one of Europe’s most eminent and respected experts on the history of terrorism and security, who will deliver her lecture: ‘L’Homme de l’Europe’ Revisited: The Duke of Wellington and the Fight against Terror in post-Napoleonic Europe.
Professor de Graaf is Chair of History of International Relations & Global Governance at Utrecht University, Netherlands. She studied German language & culture and Modern History in Bonn and Utrecht and defended her PhD in Utrecht in 2004. Beatrice held a visiting fellowship at St. Catherine’s College, Cambridge. In 2018 she received the Stevin Prize, the highest academic distinction in the Netherlands.
With a European Research Council consolidator grant, Beatrice founded the Security History Network, which studies the history of security since 1800. Her books include Fighting Terror after Napoleon: How Europe Became Secure after 1815 (Cambridge University Press 2020). Beatrice recently won the 2022 Duc d’Arenberg Prize for the best book on European History.
