Eveline Bouwers, a research associate at the IEG, completed her habilitation on Wednesday following her academic lecture “The (Not So) Free Word: Debates on the Limits of Freedom of Expression in the 20th Century” at Bielefeld University and received the venia legendi for Modern and Contemporary History. In her habilitation thesis, she examined the topic “Catholic Crowd Action: The Violent Protest over Public Religion in Europe, 1864–1914.” She worked on this project, among other settings, within the DFG-funded Emmy Noether Junior Research Group “Glaubenskämpfe: Religion und Gewalt im katholischen Europa, 1848–1914,” which she led from 2013 to 2019.
We warmly congratulate her on the successful completion of her habilitation procedure.
