Biography
Joris Roosen is working as a PhD-student within the “Coordinating for life” project at the University of Utrecht. This project aims to explain why some societies are successful in preventing the effects of major hazards and buffering threats, or in recovering quickly, while others prove highly vulnerable. His specific sub-project focuses on the subject of the Black Death and the recurring waves of plague in late medieval Europe. His research is entitled: Plague, window of opportunity or death-blow? An analysis of socioeconomic responses to the Black Death and recurring waves of plague in Flanders, Artois and Hainaut (1348-1500). The project aims to look at the institutional framework of three regions in order to ascertain why some regions were able to mitigate and recover quickly from the effects of the Black Death whilst others did not.
