Associate professor sociology
As a (junior) academic teacher, I am involved in both giving workshops that are offered by SCOPE and researching the well-being of students.

I believe that every student benefits from expanding its worldview. This can be done by having an open attitude and being reflective of yourself and your environment. Sometimes this requires tools, such as literature, philosophy and other art forms, to be able to put feelings, thoughts and ideas into words. As a teacher I hope to be able to contribute to this. Dialogue is essential to connect with others, but time and space must be available for this. For me personally, the values connection and attention are very important and thinking outside the box is my strength within education, to bridge the gap between the form of education and the dialogue with it, with the ultimate goal of taking the student a little further.
