M.H. (Marja) Cantell, Dr

Please note. Since September 2025, I will be involved only in some visiting teaching and mentoring of students at different phases of their careers.

Teaching and coordination roles until 2025

Between August 2022and June 2025, I coordinated the international Master Track in Deafblindness: https://www.rug.nl/masters/deafblindness

My teaching was related to embodiment and movement observation.

I co-supervise students of the Master Track in Deafblindness in their thesis projects. Below are some thesis examples from previous years:

-Connecting children and adults with acquired deafblindness: An action research study to gain insights into the benefits of age diversity in peer-matching.

-A survey on the available services and awareness of Congenital Deafblindness in Greece: the perspectives of families, professionals and academics

-Can Sailing Performance Be Improved Using Inclusive Communication?

-Disability simulation-change in attitude
