In 2017 I became a teacher of English as a foreign language (TEFL). In the same year I started my Research Master studies, my work was focused on Facebook and its consequences in terms of self-esteem, identity, and affective feelings.
From 2018 on, I have been teaching EFL in Chilean Universities.
In 2020, I started my PhD, which is focused on Instagram and some psychiatric consequences of its use.

I am a language-focussed, critical discourse analyst/applied linguist interested in the role of language in professional and business contexts, in particular online. In my work I explore how language constitutes our social reality, and how we can best educate the world about this important knowledge.
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).

Politics and religion, with a particular focus on Sunni politics and political opposition in Iraq and Egypt. My current research project (2023-2024), funded by an NWO Open Competitie SGW XS grant, focuses on the reconstruction of the Iraqi city of Mosul from an Iraqi and a Dutch perspective. I focus on reconstruction projects in Mosul by conducting fieldwork and by studying secondary literature and policy reports. Specifically, I look at the political and religious context in which this takes place and the extent to which this complex context of international actors and (local) sectarian politics affects the efficiency and sustainability of the reconstruction efforts. For my previous projects, I focused on the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood under the rules of Sadat and Mubarak. My studies have always been primarily based on Arabic journals and newspapers, sources, which proved to be of great relevance for new insights into the movement’s mentality history in the build-up to the events of January 2011 and, in a broader sense, the development of Islamism and political Islam in Egypt and beyond.
In August 2020 my book titled Imagining the Perfect Society in Muslim Brotherhood Journals was published by De Gruyter.

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.
