Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSam Kuijken is a PhD researcher at KADOC–KU Leuven with eight years of archival and research experience focused on global history, Catholic internationalism, and the geopolitics of decolonization and the Cold War. His current project, "From Colonial to Global? Catholic internationalism and Worldviews 1945–1958," combines deep archival work with intellectual history to trace how religious networks shaped postwar global orders. Trained at KU Leuven (BA cum laude, MA magna cum laude) and experienced as an archivist, he brings rigorous source skills and a knack for connecting nineteenth-century geopolitical ideas to twentieth-century international movements. Based in Mechelen, Belgium, Sam bridges regional Eastern European and Russian histories with broader questions about Europe’s intellectual influence—often revealing how institutional archives hide unexpected transnational linkages.
