From Heidelberg, Cambridge and Oxford - Jan-Willem Prügel (PART 1) on the legality of Native American resettlements and the Declaration of Independence.

I am very happy to introduce you to Jan-Willem Prügel. Jan's studies cover so many different fields and periods that I couldn't keep our conversation to the usual 30-40 minutes in length. So here is the first half of our 1hr and 30 minutes long conversation.
Jan is a historian of law, economics and intellectual ideas. After studying law at Heidelberg University, he gained his masters in History from Cambridge. Jan currently works for the German Ministry of the Interior and is studying part-time for his DPhil at Oxford - and he still found time to talk to me! His work covers the legal debates around the removal of the Native American population in the early 19th century, the legality of the USA's Declaration of Independence, legal thought in Latin America and the 19th century intellectual movement known as Transcendentalism. This episode covers the former two but you'll have to wait until the second part of the conversation is released to hear our discussion of the latter two. Thank you for listening.
