Fulbright Fellow, Netherlands 2008-2009

Early Modern European Religious and Intellectual History

Cotter is a religious and intellectual historian whose interests are both deep and wide. Having been trained in both Britain and America, he has experienced the best of both worlds: the depth of the British system, the breadth of the American. While his current research focuses on the religious and political landscape between England and Holland under the later Stuarts, he views his subject matter, the toleration controversy, through a wide-angle lens, from Augustine to Locke.
