Dr F.P.G.B.M. Meens (Floris)

Since 2010, I have been working as a cultural historian at Radboud University. Funded with a VENI-grant from the Dutch Research Council, during the last couple of years I was a visiting scholar at Columbia University and the Universität Wien. My current research particularly focusses on the history of cultural networks, institutions, and fields – especially the field of classical music. I'm also interested in the modern history of travel and tourism (the Alpine region in particular), tradition and innovation, and cultural criticism. I am editor in chief of The International Journal for History, Culture and Modernity (Brill), as well as editor of De Moderne Tijd (AUP). In my spare time, I am artistic programmer of the Nijmegen Chamber Music Foundation, and a board member of the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century.
