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

Since 2010, I have been working as a cultural historian at Radboud University. In recent years, I have also spent periods as a visiting scholar at Columbia University (New York) and at the University of Vienna.

My research focuses primarily on the modern history of cultural networks, institutions and fields (particularly that of music), travel and tourism (particularly in the Alps), cultural criticism, and human relationships, personalities and emotions.

I am editor-in-chief of the International Journal for History, Culture and Modernity (Brill/De Gruyter) and a member of the editorial board of De Moderne Tijd (AUP).

In my spare time, I am artistic programmer of the Nijmegen Chamber Music Foundation and board member of the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century.
