Marlou Schrover (born 4 March 1959) is a Dutch historian and professor of economic and social history, specialised in migration history at Leiden University. She also is an LDE professor at the Erasmus University Rotterdam. She examines the history of migration, gender, ethnicity, class, religion, and sexuality in the Netherlands and Europe, with a focus on the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.[2]

Academic career

Schrover graduated in Journalism in Utrecht (1979) and in Social and Economic History in Utrecht (1986), where she also defended her PhD thesis (1991). She is a faculty member at Leiden University, since 2003.[2] She has led research projects funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), including studies on migration patterns and integration policies in the Netherlands.[3] Her work integrates perspectives from migration studies, gender history, and social history, exploring how historical processes shape modern migration debates.

After arriving in Leiden, she founded a women's network for female academics at the university and named it after Sophia Antoniadis, the very first female professor at Leiden. The network's goal was to "make women visible at the university and remove barriers for women without making it a women's issue." Schrover also served on the editorial board of the Jaarboek voor vrouwengeschiedenis for many years.[4]

Schrover was editor in chief of TSEG: The Low Countries Journal of Social and Economic History and currently is the editor in Chief of the Journal of Migration History.[5] She has contributed to public discussions on migration [6] and integration.[2] She is the author or editor of several books.
