About Nelleke Tanis

Nelleke is a doctoral researcher at the Centre for Urban History. As a social historian specialising in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, she explores the past from the perspective of ordinary people: history from below. Her doctoral research draws on petitions to examine how Delft’s lower middle class experienced the revolutionary era of the late eighteenth century. Alongside her academic work, she has a keen interest in public history and enjoys sharing her research through articles, talks, and other activities for a wider audience.
