Academia develops at the interface of different fields. This is one reason why the University of Groningen is home to a wide range of fields, each with a great number of subject specialists. The overview below, which is based on a standard categorization of fields, will help you find the right expert for each field.

I conduct empirical linguistic-discourse analytical research, theorise and educate about language awareness and discourse consciousness. I am an experienced and passionate researcher-educator with a sense of responsibility to nurture a future generation of critical text consumers who are also ethical, responsible and empowered communicators.
I lead on courses based on discourse analysis, often with a business/professional communication slant. I co-host the Words and Actions podcasts and am the proud co-author of the textbook Language in Business, Language at Work (working currently on the 2nd edition).

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.
