Dennis Bos (1969) studied history and received a Ph.D. at the University of Amsterdam, where he wrote a dissertation on the history of the early socialist movement in Amsterdam in the second half of the nineteenth century. He worked as a Post-doc researcher at the University of Groningen before transferring to Leiden in 2005.

His current research deals with the politics of remembrance and analyses the influence of the Paris Commune of 1871 and its memory within the international socialist, communist and anarchist movement during the nineteenth and early twentieth century.
