Career

Nierop took part in student demonstrations in Amsterdam in May 1969, occupying the university's administrative centre.[1][2] He graduated from the University of Amsterdam in 1974 and in 1984 obtained a doctorate from Leiden University with a thesis on the transformation of Holland's ruling class between 1500 and 1650.[3] He taught at the University of Amsterdam, where in 1999 he was appointed Professor of Early Modern History.[3] He was the director of the Amsterdam Centre for the Study of the Dutch Golden Age from 2000 to 2008, and an editor of the Amsterdam University Press series "Amsterdam Studies in the Dutch Golden Age".[4] He retired in June 2014.[5] A Festschrift was produced for the occasion, under the title Het gelijk van de Gouden Eeuw, edited by Michiel van Groesen, Judith Pollmann and Hans Cools (Hilversum, 2014).[6]
