Dr. René Koekkoek is an Assistant Professor of Political History at Utrecht University's Faculty of Humanities, Department of History and Art History. He serves as a Researcher in International and Political History at the Humanities Research Institute for History and Art History, with expertise spanning democracy, citizenship, revolutionary history, and reparations. His scholarly work bridges intellectual history with social and political analysis, examining how theoretical concepts manifest in historical practice. Dr. Koekkoek's educational background includes: Ph.D. from Utrecht University (2016) MPhil in Political Thought and Intellectual History with Distinction from University of Cambridge (2011) Research MA in History: Cities, States & Citizenship (cum laude) from Utrecht University (2010) BA in Philosophy from VU University, Amsterdam (2010) BA in History (cum laude) from VU University, Amsterdam (2008) Dr. Koekkoek's research centers on the history of political thought, particularly examining evolving concepts of democracy, citizenship, and reparations across historical periods. His work on the Batavian Republic explores early Dutch republican ideals within broader Atlantic revolutionary movements, while his scholarship on reparations traces historical approaches to addressing past injustices. He investigates how philosophical ideas from Spinoza to Carl Schmitt have shaped conceptions of democracy and toleration, and examines the limitations of revolutionary ideals regarding equality and inclusion. His research consistently reveals the tension between political theory and historical practice, particularly regarding marginalized groups and colonial contexts. Analysis of Dr. Koekkoek's publications shows a clear trajectory from early modern political thought toward contemporary debates about historical justice. His work demonstrates consistent attention to how abstract political concepts like citizenship and reparations have been implemented (or failed to be implemented) in concrete historical situations. A distinctive feature of his scholarship is its focus on marginalized perspectives within historical narratives, particularly concerning slavery, colonialism, and the limitations of revolutionary promises. His research bridges intellectual history with social and political history, revealing dynamic interactions between ideas and historical events across different eras. Dr. Koekkoek has received significant recognition for his scholarly contributions: NWO VENI Grant (2018) Junior Fellowship at the Vossius Center for History of Humanities and Sciences, University of Amsterdam (2017) NWO PhD Research grant (2011) Huygens Scholarship Programme for MPhil at University of Cambridge (2010) Dr. Hendrik Muller Vaderlandsch Fonds Grant for study at Heidelberg University (2009) Dr. Koekkoek actively mentors students and secures research funding for historical investigations. As host of the historical podcast 'Blik achteruit' [Rearview], he engages broader audiences with historical topics. He regularly contributes to publications like De Groene Amsterdammer and The Dutch Book Review, addressing revolts against slavery, Madame de Staël's relevance, human rights, and citizen councils. His future research project aims to deepen understanding of democratic thought among Asian and African anticolonial thinkers from 1910-1970, expanding his work into global intellectual history while maintaining connections to his expertise in political theory. Dr. Koekkoek contributes to Utrecht University's Institutions for Open Societies (IOS) research theme, focusing on historical development and contemporary challenges of democratic societies. Through his academic work, public engagement, and scholarly leadership in the Global Intellectual History Seminar, he bridges historical scholarship with contemporary debates about citizenship, democracy, and historical justice.

She holds joint affiliations with the Center for Access to Justice and Department of African American Studies at Georgia State, and currently serves as a Distinguished Senior Fellow at Rutgers Law School Center for Security, Race and Rights. Her educational background includes: J.D. from Yale Law School M.Ed. from Georgia State University B.A. from Swarthmore College Professor Saito's scholarship critically examines American exceptionalism through the lens of race and colonialism. Her work investigates how plenary power doctrine enables systemic discrimination against immigrants, Indigenous peoples, and territorial subjects while analyzing the human rights implications of U.S. policies. She pioneered connections between settler colonial theory and legal structures in works like Settler Colonialism, Race, and the Law (2020), demonstrating how foundational legal frameworks perpetuate structural racism through mechanisms like racialized internment and suppression of dissent. Her methodology combines historical analysis with critical race theory to expose the continuity of colonial power in modern jurisprudence. With over 50 publications including three influential books, Professor Saito's recent scholarship shows increasing focus on intersectional analyses of race, indigeneity, and migration. Her 2023 articles explore how national identity formations enable religious discrimination and how Indigenous rights frameworks can inform migration justice. A recurring theme across her work is the critique of U.S. exceptionalism in international law, arguing for integration of human rights principles into domestic legal interpretation while documenting resistance movements that challenge oppressive structures. Professor Saito has advised numerous student organizations including the Asian American Law Student Association and Immigration Law Society. She co-directed the Human Rights Research Fund and serves on editorial boards for the Journal of Law and Political Economy and Third World Approaches to International Law Review . Her professional service includes consultancy for the UN Human Rights Council’s Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism and membership on Georgia’s Commission on Racial and Ethnic Bias in the Courts.
